Elixir v0.3 released: Method dispatching and charming syntax for the Erlang VM
- nazgob 15y agotest cases run in parallel? neat.
- msy 15y agoAnyone know how this compares or differs to Reia, another attempt at Ruby-like syntax on Erlang?
- glassx 15y agoSomebody please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm still reading the readme and the code, but I think Elixir is closer to Erlang (the language) intents, being immutable and 'more functional'. Reia has some object-orientation built in, with stateful objects and "types" that mix data and code. Here's a very good blog post by Reia's author talking about the 'non-Erlang' things in Reia: http://www.unlimitednovelty.com/2009/03/is-reia-object-oriented-language-joe.html http://www.unlimitednovelty.com/2009/03/is-reia-object-orien... I personally think that they're both amazing from what I've been seeing. I gotta dive-in more and do some tests, but it will be a joy to see Erlang getting more adopters. :D
- vvpan 15y agoA different syntax on top of Erlang VM? That sounds awesome. Syntax seems to be the number of critique of Erlang. Hope they don't drop many language features.
