Read the blog post and then the thread, and was really starting to get excited at the prospect of using elixir. Then i wondered what was the pace of adopting new technologies in elixir, and found this thread about http2 support (which started to gain adoption last year, and increase peroformances a lot)
https://github.com/elixir-lang/plug/issues/258 https://github.com/elixir-lang/plug/issues/258
So, for a language that's primarely based around webserver, i find it really woorying that http2 support wasn't a primary concern, and depends on donation to a third party developper...
I guess it means the language is still young and so is the ecosystem.
- alberth 10y agoThis isn't elixir fault per se. Elixir leverages Cowboy quite a bit and HTTP2 requires substantial rewrite of Cowboy. This will be completed in the release of Cowboy 2.0 If you want to read why Cowboy needs to be majorly refactored, read the link below https://ninenines.eu/talks/cowboy-2/#/ https://ninenines.eu/talks/cowboy-2/#/
