How possible is this kind of thing in Golang, in Elixer? I'm trying to choose tech for parsing, processing, calculating, and applying complex business rules to

  All this is easily possible. You can leverage fan-out/fan-in/pipeline concurrency patterns in Go.

    It's really awful in Go to create concurrency patterns. In particular because the generics are clunky and verbose, and there are no type classes/traits. There's also no good cancellation convention: Context is verbose, dynamically typed, and not used in all the standard interfaces.

  This is, actually, the erlang/elixir concurrency model, (with a lot of tooling behind for doing it well).

    Isn’t erlang a very different, almost opposite concurrency model? I’m not an erlang expert but async message passing is a very different style. The limitation around background tasks in structured concurrency is trivial in erlang for example
    • matreyes 3y ago
      Yes, but proceses are supervised (in a tree structure). So you have the same warranties described in structured concurrency

        Yeah this seems compelling, especially the economics of it when paying for machine time.
