- pluralmonad 3mo agoSuch a delight to use and the core team seems to always make the right decision.
- dnautics 3mo agoits been fun building a multiagent personal assistant. (wip, no guarantees, this is the engine i use) https://github.com/ityonemo/ce_ce https://github.com/ityonemo/ce_ce
- andruby 3mo agoReading the Erlang ProgProgrammers book by Joe Armstrong made me a better Ruby programmer as it changed my perspective on functional programming and abstractions. I first reached for Elixir when Ruby couldn't handle large amounts of websocket messages. It really shines in high-concurrency contexts. I also love Phoenix LiveView and have a couple of side-projects running on it.
- shevy-java 3mo agoI think most will agree that it improved on Erlang. For me as a long-term ruby user, though, elixir is not quite as elegant as it could or should have been. Even simple things such as "defmodule Xyz do" feels weird to me.
- CyberDildonics 3mo agoI'm hoping to find a reason to use it soon. Do you have a program that doesn't need to run fast?
- ipnon 3mo agoIt's a good joke but most of my applications are I/O bound. So I use Elixir for performance.
- 999900000999 3mo agoI actually experimented with using it as a backend for a multiplayer turn based game. I eventually gave up because it’s a bit too difficult without a team.
- jimbob45 3mo agoWhy not use Java, C#, or Swift in that case?
