Damn, almost all of his next projects involve elixir:
"Writing Elixir and Phoenix code to manipulate MIDI in real time
Expand my Halloween project of multiple Raspberry Pi’s, Arduino, pneumatics, audio and effects to a full-blown Elixir/Phoenix/OTP demonstration.
Revise my book Pragmatic Thinking & Learning
Maybe a top-secret project or two.."
- hew 9y agoJust such a joy to write both syntactically and conceptually. I wrote C to get through school. I wrote PHP to hack CRUD web apps. I write JS because it's ubiquitous and I'm required to. I write Elixir because I love to do it.
- ams6110 9y agoDid you come to Elixr from Ruby or Erlang? Or neither? I learned a bit of Erlang first, and never really found a taste for Elixir's syntax. Can't say that I've really used it beyond tinkering though.
- digitalzombie 9y agoElixir's syntax is much easier compare to Erlang's prolog inspired syntax. I think anybody coming from any C inspired language would take Elixir over Erlang imo. Sure Erlang is a small language but the hump is much higher to get over the syntax than in Elixir.
- hew 9y agoNeither. My background was all C family until I read PragProg and then stumbled over Elixir in a search for another language for edification.
