On a related note, has anyone tried Elixir[1], which is a Ruby-like language that runs on the Erlang VM. If so, what project was that? how was your experience?

- rubyrescue 14y agoInaka does a lot of Erlang. We really like Elixir and we're excited about it. It's still early but it gives you the runtime environment of Erlang with the syntax of Ruby. It has a few very active, passionate folks behind it which will cause it to continue to grow.
- ludicast 14y agoElixir is awesome, it's like Ruby and Clojure having sex on an Erlang waterbed. However it still is maturing at a quick clip so I haven't done any production work in it. But since Jose Valim is probably my favorite developer alive, I have faith that Elixir will do for Erlang what Rails did for Ruby. I know it sounds like I'm comparing Rails (a framework) to Elixir (a language), but what I am comparing is a way of bridging-in Joe/Jane Developer.
