What I love with Phoenix/Elixir is that there's plenty of features I wouldn't bother with in a more traditional language. You want a PubSub? It's just there, you can use it in one line. You want a Redis? Registry is there, also in one line. It's like a whole tech stack in one language.
- jamil7 6y agoI saw a presentation about Phoenix/Elixir that described this once and it really impressed me. It's been 4 or so years that I've been meaning to pick up Phoenix for a project but still haven't.
- vram22 6y agoWas it a publicly available online presentation? If, please share title or link if you can.
- realusername 6y agoYou can watch this small twitter demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZvmYaFkNJI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZvmYaFkNJI. It's what sold me on the technology.
- vram22 6y agoThank you.
- jamil7 6y agoIt was a slide from a conference I believe but I wouldn't know how to find it - some elixir people in the thread might know. It was something illustrating all the external tools you'd normally reach for and how Erlang/Elixir just had all of this built into the language and VM.
- sfusato 6y agoThat sounds like one of Saša Jurić's talks: GOTO 2019 • The Soul of Erlang and Elixir • Saša Jurić https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvBT4XBdoUE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvBT4XBdoUE https://elixirforum.com/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a2524cd7c485fc4d63c09c19f97821afb6343ec5.png https://elixirforum.com/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a2524c... (also from Saša Jurić's book)
