Some people praised Go as a better language for the use case than PHP. I’d say Elixir is even better. It can handle massive concurrency easy, can be made distributed easy, has a built-in, in-memory, key-value store (ETS), and is probably the best high-level language for anything that’s facing the network.
- lukevp 2y agoI've really been interested in learning more about Elixir and how it accomplishes these things, because I constantly hear the same opinions from others. Do you have some good resources you'd recommend for getting started with Elixir for a principal engineer that wants to understand these at-scale issues and how Elixir solves them better than other languages?
- nesarkvechnep 2y agoYes, two books. To get a feel for the language - “Elixir in Action” by Sasa Juric. To discover how Elixir and the platform it’s built on excel in scalability and fault-tolerance - “Designing for Scalability with Erlang/OTP” by Francesco Cesarini.
