I'm used to having a Python middleware in my Go web application just for ML, The idea of achieving the same with just one monolith application using Elixir is very tempting.
Has anyone switched to Elixir from Go for writing web apps? What has been your experience like?

- kristerv 4y agoi switched from JS to Elixir. there are many benefits you can google yourself, but one thing i've realized for myself is that in regards to webapps LiveView is a real innovation. now PHP and others are copying what Elixir is doing, which is great, but it seems like Jose and others in the space are keeping Elixir on the frontline of innovation for a long time still. time and time again (like with the ML stuff) it amazes me how much Elixir is actually inventing new stuff and thinking outside of the "just a language" box. i almost quit programming honestly, because i just couldn't take the needless complexity of everyday life and Elixir saved my career. now i get shit done.
