I've been using Erlang for something like 20 years, and Elixir has some genuine improvements over it, like using "binaries" for strings instead of the linked list/array things.
- jacquesm 3y agoYes, strings are a real pain point. And I absolutely believe that if Erlang were to be created from scratch today it would be much closer to Elixir than to the Erlang that is there with all of the historical baggage. But what surprises me is how well it is geared to the problems of the modern web, almost no other platform seems to be so tailor made for web scale event and request processing.
