Thank you for elaborating!
I think that Erlang/Elixir could make amazing TUI apps if they were easier to distribute. The ability to push work to the edges of the system while keeping the UI responsive would be awesome. It sounds like static binaries provided by Firefly would make this a viable option.
- freedomben 4y agoLikewise. I still mainly use Ruby or Go for writing CLIs, but I would much, much rather use Elixir. escript is nice but still requires the target to have erlang installed. Being able to produce a statically-linked binary would be enough to just use elixir only, which is my dream.
- bitwalker 4y agoThis is one of the things I'm personally excited about using Firefly for, since I first started working professionally with Erlang/Elixir, I wanted the ability to use it for CLIs. You can be sure it will be a use case well supported :)
