Nice to see the new code of conduct, that's not something you see in every community.
I have to say it's incredible to see how quickly Elixir has developed and what the language is capable of. Between Elixir on the server side and Rust on the native space I feel like we're seeing a real growth of practical functional languages.
(I know Rust isn't as pure functional as many other languages but it's ML roots are still refreshing for writing native code)
- 15155 11y agoI have the same feelings about Rust. It's the light at the end of the tunnel for a native language with a great type system and decent primitives. Something as low-level as Rust can't deviate as far as, say, Haskell, from the procedural, register-machine reality in which we operate, and that's fine.
- rozap 11y agoElixir/Erlang aren't purely functional either (eg: ets), but they're enough functional to eliminate many common bugs and they still allow you to get stuff done. :)
