5 Minute Blog Using Nitrogen and CouchDB

• swombat 18y ago
  A nice example, and probably its purpose is to look at Erlang/Nitrogen/etc rather than to actually create a blog, but if you're actually creating a blog nowadays, I'd stick with either Wordpress (or one of the other big boys), or, if you want to be guaranteed to survive the slashdot effect, generate a static html blog with something like Webby, with comment support from Disqus or the like.

    Actually I would reccomennt Squarespace.com. It's by far the best one and handles digg/slashdot traffic nicely.
    • swombat 18y ago
      Any specific reasons why you'd recommend it over, say, a wordpress.com account?

    It's a technology demo/tutorial, not a real viable blog.
    • JonGretar 18y ago
      You are right. It's mostly supposed to show one possible way on how to use CouchDB along with Nitrogen Bindings.
• tlrobinson 18y ago
  Erlang and CouchDB (which is written mostly in Erlang) are both very interesting technologies. I've only briefly looked at Nitrogen, but I'm not sure I like the concept of a server-side framework that generates highly dependent client-side code. It seems like it makes it pretty easy to simple things, but very hard (if not impossible) to do complicated things. I could be totally wrong, but that's my first impression.
  • JonGretar 18y ago
    It doesn't generate much more client-side code than others. All frameworks are filled with javascript. At least 2 frameworks are almost JS only. But regarding complicated things I dont get what you mean. You can easily generate whatever HTML you want using multiple ways. And complicated tasks is what Erlang is all about.
