Other language that have strong typing for instance or good performance?
- ramchip 8y agoI enjoy Elixir tremendously, but usually I’m forced to use another language (Python) due to popularity, not technical merits. It’s hard to sell anything that’s not in the TIOBE top 10. To answer your comment more directly though, for many systems the benefits of excellent concurrency, monitorability, and fault tolerance can outweigh those of a strong type system or raw performance. It really depends what you’re doing, and how your team likes to work. No such thing as a silver bullet and all that.
- nine_k 8y agoYou don't have to let go of the FP goodies for a good type system or speed: take F#, or Haskell, or even Scala (with akka) or Kotlin. Ocaml or SML would do, too, but their concurrency story is not as good.
