I only learned about Elixir a little more than a year ago and it’s been a lot of fun to learn and incorporate in different components.
My biggest joy comes from how much one can do out of the box with beam/otp. Someone in a team I worked with once said “BEAM/OTP is like k8s only without the complicated parts”.
- bananadonkey 3y agoWhen all else fails that's how I explain it to my team. I spent years learning Elixir but unfortunately the benefits were somewhat undermined by the recent migration to OpenShift (k8s) I had just architected. It would have been a much more tantalizing proposition if k8s was not in the picture; instead we kept our existing dev stack and utilized k8s concepts to achieve what we would have been doing in OTP, with different trade-offs of course.
