Wow Go has really gained traction. Coming from a Python, PHP, JavaScript background I have been contemplating learning Go or Elixir this year. I am drawn to Elixir because of the functional approach which is different than what I am used to.
- qaq 10y agoI have very similar background after playing with both decided to focus on Elixir very pleasant language and all the power of BEAM/OTP.
- 20years 10y agoGood to hear. I am looking forwarding to diving into it.
- brightball 10y agoI've been learning both this year. Go at work and Elixir in my spare time. Both have a lot of similarities and the differences largely boil down to some root design decisions. They are both great languages. I find Elixir to be more applicable to most of the work that I do (web work), personally. Phoenix is so much more polished than any of the web options in Go, I'd tend to make it my default. Go is where I'd reach when I needed to performance tune a very specific piece of a system generally. Can be a bit tedious for high level things.
