after 8 years as a nodejs developer, elixir's concurrency and parrallelism toolkit is lightyears ahead. sagas, promises, channels.. Its all a joke compared to what elixir offers.
Phoenix gives me a network synced crdta backed data structures, multicluster websocket support with long polling fallback, supervision trees with long lived processes and a descent pubsub system out of the box. we've gone 2 years in production and haven't needed redis or rabbitmq yet. its allowed us to focus on delivering features without drowning in infrastructure.
- mstipetic 4y agoFor me the most depressing thing has been - once I've seen the OTP library and everything elixir (well, erlang) provides, I've realized we've figured out most of the things like 30 years ago and have kept reinventing the wheel constantly, just because of not looking back and checking has it been solved already. Erlang's introspection tooling is better than 99% of what the market offers now as an expensive SaaS.
