Elixir has awesome tooling and developer experience, its over 10 years old built on a vm thats 35 years old.
Has communities dedicated to domains around embedded systems, distributed/fault tolerant system, web development, machine learning, data pipe lines, ETL, etc.
It's just not in the ML or LISP families.
- ch4s3 4y agoYeah, if you're looking for a functional programming language and can live without static types, you need a pretty strong reason to look further than Elixir.
- weatherlight 4y ago...and if you want the static type checking before compile time with a C like syntax on the Erlang Virtual Machine, Gleam is pretty compelling. https://gleam.run/cheatsheets/gleam-for-python-users/ https://gleam.run/cheatsheets/gleam-for-python-users/ https://gleam.run/cheatsheets/gleam-for-php-users/ https://gleam.run/cheatsheets/gleam-for-php-users/ https://gleam.run/cheatsheets/gleam-for-rust-users/ https://gleam.run/cheatsheets/gleam-for-rust-users/
