All this cool Elixir news. I'm really having a hard time deciding between Elixir and Julia.
(For programs that I must have compiled to a distributable executable, I've pretty much settled on Crystal. I find it more productive and pleasent than Go or Rust.)
- thruflo22 5y agoIt’s not quite the same story but https://github.com/spawnfest/bakeware https://github.com/spawnfest/bakeware builds elixir releases into distributable executables.
- lobo_tuerto 5y agoThat one is out of date, the one it forked of is not: https://github.com/bake-bake-bake/bakeware https://github.com/bake-bake-bake/bakeware
- cultofmetatron 5y agoif you want to build a saas, go with elixir. Its got a great batteries included web framework thats built to scale and an emerging suit of ml and linear algebra software coming out. If you want to experiment with ML and scientific programming where you do a lot of matrix processing, go with julia. thats literally what its made for.
- neolog 5y agoJulia has a web framework too of course. https://genieframework.com/ https://genieframework.com/

- dnautics 5y agoAs someone who started on julia first and then moved to elixir: If you're doing computational/numerical stuff, stick with julia, for now. You really can't do that elixir, not today, and maybe not for at least another year or two. It will likely never be as good as julia since computation is not first class in the vm it runs on. If you're doing or planning or doing anything with web, or orchestration, go with elixir.
