A lot of Scala users like the Akka actor system. The actor model is a first-class library in Elixir (or more specifically Erlang/OTP)

- PopeDotNinja 8y agoLearning to understand the actor model in Elixir made me a much better programmer. I highly recommend taking the plunge, even if you don't ultimately use Elixir. Be prepared for a bit of a brain bender though. Pro-tip: If you can't write a GenServer in Elixir from scratch, along with understanding all of the differences between casts and calls, you probably don't understand the actor model (at least how it's used in Elixir) very well.
- zinclozenge 8y agoThis is pure gatekeeping.
- PopeDotNinja 8y agoI'm not sure what that means. Can you clarify?
