Right, no one has ever built a chat system with Node or PHP or Python...just super hard. Like importing a library and 10 lines of code hard.

- scns 5y agoThat is taking an off the shelf solution and adding some glue. I bet it's much easier to build such a system from scratch, using Erlang/BEAM, since communication is in its' "DNA".
- joelbluminator 5y agoErlang/BEAM is also off the shelf solution, whose to say what's the "right amount" of abstraction a beginner should use? If you really wanna teach a student what's happening in the computer have them use assembly or maybe C, that's pretty much the only way.
- dnautics 5y agoyeah try doing that with a room of 12-year olds. They will immediately tune out when you don't bother to explain what "import" is, or when you have to explain how APIs work, what options are, why you need option X, why 3rd party API of your choice requires this function signature?. Dead in the fucking water.
