I have been learning Elixir for past couple of months. After a long time, I am in love with programming+design again. It has honestly given my brain a much needed refresh.
Of course, it can definitely be attributed, at least partly, to just moving to functional programming.
Every day I look forward to 6'o clock, so I can stop working and continue on my own projects.
- afhammad 4y agoYou will also find Clojure just as refreshing / enlightening. My company uses Elixir but I’ve also done a lot of Clojure, give it a shot if you haven’t.
- cutler 4y agoSeconded. Clojure was a real turning point for me but be warned - once you have the veil lifted re OOP you'll not want to work with Java/C# ever again.
- vizzier 4y agoI feel this so much, been working with F# in some sub projects. C# is hard to go back to. Though Microsoft's route of stealing wholesale from the former is making it gradually more palatable.
- hiepph 4y agoClojure is such a joy in my programming life. Even though I don't use it in my job, learning it made me change partially my programming style in Java, such as functions decomposition. Sadly I don't see any chance that I'm going to use it for real job in the future. The market is too narrow for this language. Hard fact that If I don't use it for the job, I cannot reach to its full potential. Guess it should stay as my hobby language for now.
