That’s a very important point. Every rewrite I’ve been part of needed major architectural changes because of deep issues with the system. Switching the language was just a nice bonus.
- john_the_writer 2y agoThis was what I was thinking.. Moving something from rails to elixir as a copy-pasta wouldn't give you the things elixir is great at. You'd just get MVC.. No use of OTP or Services. When I was at Uni I wrote an app for a Java course. The prof laughed and said. "You're a c++ programmer aren't you." My code smelled of it. "A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing." - Alan Perlis
