Code elegance and development joy, maybe? I know Java has a mature ecosystem, but I wouldn't touch it with a stick

- dimitrios1 6y agoRight I get that elixir as a language is more enjoyable than Java. The question I wonder if it is wise to go all in on a single platform for the sake of being uniform.
- dragosmocrii 6y agoWhy would it not be wise? Python did it, Java did it, Elixir can do it too. Uniformity is good for productivity, as long as the ecosystem stays healthy & maintained.
- dimitrios1 6y agoWell for example imagine your stack is in Go and enjoy the speed and maintainability and expertise, but you want to use spAcy and all the great data science and ML libs in python. Or imagine you are all in on Java and want to use PyTorch. Or you are struggling finding an api-gateway like solution and want to utilize Zuul. Or you want to use Edge Lambdas on AWS but have to write them in node.js. etc.
