Welcome to the brand new Erlang Forums
- 3r8Oltr0ziouVDM 5y agoDoesn't work without JS.
- bitzun 5y agoI shared your disappointment at first, but it does look like you can at least browse on desktop without JS. I haven't tried signing up or posting. Mobile seems to be broken without JS unless you pretend to be a computer.
- 3r8Oltr0ziouVDM 5y agoI'm on desktop, using Firefox, and it's just an empty page with a red border at the top for me.
- brettgo1 5y agoIt's 2021, who the heck is still disabling JS
- 3r8Oltr0ziouVDM 5y agoI only started to disable JS in 2021, lol. Running arbitrary scripts from random sites on the Internet is not a good idea as there are many privacy and security risks. Browsing with JS disabled by default actually works pretty well, most of the sites are more or less readable. Of course if I was using Erlang and interested in this forum, I'd enable JS on it because it's probably fine (and open source?), but it's still disappointing that a programming forum is not at all readable without JS.
- fouc 5y agoYeah that's a great idea, in this day and age where everyone is concerned about security, disabling JS and making sites work without JS seems like a great approach. Hopefully the giants that are always espousing security will see the light.
- bitzun 5y agoI've had JS disabled for arbitrary sites since 2019 (with some necessary exceptions), the only thing I feel I've lost out on is being able to view Twitter (as of last year I think?) and Imgur links. In general my experience has been that browsing the internet is faster and more secure without it.

- colesantiago 5y agoHow do you pay for your e-commerce goods online?
- frou_dh 5y agoKnew this would use Discourse before clicking. To a first approximation I think every official language web forum I've visited in recent years has been. And it works well too!
- brightball 5y agoI believe it’s being done by the Elixir Forum folks (who use Discourse).
- exdsq 5y agoI've always wondered why more crypto projects aren't using Erlang seeing as it's so good at distributed systems
- openfuture 5y agoAmoveo is one, it's mostly interesting for other reasons though.
- arthurcolle 5y agoYep, have wondered that myself
- turbocon 5y agoBy all means not a erlang expert, just read an intro book on it and it mentioned that erlang was not a good heavy computation language, so maybe that's why?
- exdsq 5y agoAh this makes sense, I haven't used Erlang so didn't know that. Thanks!
- kuratkull 5y agoBecause a programming language providing great async/distributed capabilities is very different from a distributed system.

- waynesonfire 5y agowhat do you mean by "why more"? you can always have more. are there not enough for you at the moment?
- exdsq 5y agoI don't know of any, but even if there are a few, I'm unsure why it lost to Go/Rust/C++
- danr4 5y agoOff-topic: Did discourse "win" forums? Because I absolutely hate it's UX. 95% of the times I stumble on a Discourse forum I immediately close the tab. I miss old-school paginated, hierarchical forums. It's kinda like old vs new reddit. I recently looked at forum software for a community I was trying to set up and it felt like it's either stuck in the past or went too far with shiny web stuff (like discourse). Just wanted a middle ground - oldschool style just less cluttered and less unnecessary info. Did I miss something? Did no one figure it out?
- openfuture 5y agoI'm designing a forum system like you want but it's still a while away.
- danr4 5y agosure! find my email in my profile and message me when you've got something. good luck!
- Zababa 5y agoIt did for programming languages. OCaml's forums and Elixir's forums use it too. I personally don't like it very much, but like you, I don't know of a good middle ground.
- davidw 5y ago> I miss old-school paginated, hierarchical forums I miss old-school mailing lists where I can read and write to them with whatever client I want.
- arthurcolle 5y agoPretty slow render times. Is this using Phx?
- rzz3 5y ago“Forums”? Is it 2003? Why not a newsgroup or nice Telnet server where people can chat? Such a weird thing to hear the term “new” and “forum” together.

- keewee7 5y agoGood that they're getting their own self-hosted forum. I don't like all the centralization happening and reddit becoming the forum for everything.
- ushakov 5y agoi hate constant annoyances/nagging by discourse forums forum is a place for discussion, not a RPG where you collect achievements
- ofrzeta 5y agoI dislike the endless scrolling. It's a constant source of frustration when you think you have now almost approached the end of a discussion only to discover it goes on and on ...
