Honestly when I look to rewriting a python thing to be 'faster' either try using PyPy first, or rewrite it in OCaml instead. OCaml is extremely simple, similar to python in a lot of ways (GIL and all), but runs at native code spe

Wait, doesn't the certbot DNS challenge query the nameservers of the domain being checked, not your local DNS resolver, otherwise my fast DNS challenges should fail?

Not in the United States it's not at least. Even just the recent net neutrality pubic votes don't match what was done in the slightest. The USA is an oligarchy through and through.

Yep, the privacy and sending specific things to specific circles and all was spot-on in G+. Or even specific people, groups, even non-G+ emails.

Elixir defines its parts as either 'Language Syntax', 'Special Forms', 'Kernel', 'Standard Library', and of course user code. Things like a function call is language syntax. You cannot replace langua

This is precisely how I think as well, some declaration like `let` or `var` or so to say "This is a new binding"

`|>` would replace the great majority of need for multi-staged named variables. In addition, naming variables like that in Erlang is a mis-design, the names should be more descriptive.

Oh yes! Elchemy! How'd I forget about that one (I keep pushing it around!)! ^.^; It is based on Elm so it has a severely limited type system but it is the most complete on Elixir so far. :-)

Eh, as far as I know I'm the only one doing that, and even then only as an experiment/playground, and I don't have the time to work on it lately (have to pay the bills after all). It's not compiling to elixir, but the `a

It's unnecessary in the 'erlang' ecosystem because erlang doesn't have variable rebinding, Elixir 'does' have variable rebinding so it needs some way to distinguish between rebinding and matching, and it was de

It still doesn't do the same thing as the erlang code as the elixir example is being run at the staged compile-time instead of run-time like elixir's would be though. And a superfluous `ok` atom is being returned from the erlang

by OvermindDL1 8y ago
Entirely subjective yes! ^.^ However what you show is not focusing on syntax differences but rather function differences, even `|>` is an (macro) operator. By syntax I'm talking about things like the `do`/`end` and `fn`/

by OvermindDL1 8y ago
Entirely agreed. Elixir's Macro's are awesome, and Erlang could definitely use an Elixir-Macro-Like Parse Transform library (could definitely exist), Erlang's syntax I find far more readable, consistent, and logical as well.

Remote nodes have overhead, however if you can handle that overhead then you definitely should use a remote node or Port over a NIF. However, NIF's taking a long time to run is not so much of an issue anymore now that the dirty NIF sc

They don't mean immutable as in language form, but immutable packaging system is the general form where you can add but not remove packages to it so as to not break things, which is the common form among most maven/cargo/hunt

Javascript itself supports destructuing fine, here's some javascript straight from the firefox console: > let a = [1,2,3] undefined > [x,y,z] = a Array(3) [ 1, 2, 3 ] > x 1 > y 2 > z

But Elixir 'does' have early returns, they are known as `Guards` as a language construct.

by OvermindDL1 9y ago
Not really any 'build' way, but the 'patterns' of it are more similar in that being immutable, functional, and single-owner languages.

Java and C# outclass performance in raw CPU work certainly. Phoenix does not do raw CPU work however, it is primarily a web dispatcher on top of cowboy and the BEAM will run circles around both Java and C# systems if they are programmed to

I've been working with the BEAM (via Erlang) for over a decade, and with Elixir for almost 1.5 years, and I'd still give up, well, probably my current job if I could get a fully Hindley-Milner Typed Elixir...

Bucklescript works fantastic in the Elixir system (I have a bucklescript-tea library that maps Elm code 'almost' verbatum to Bucklescript code too). There is an ElixirScript project in current dev, still early but usable, that com

I use it for everything from bots to interacting with and controlling Java and Python programs and a lot more. The concurrency abilities of the BEAM have a lot of applications.

With the Rustler Rust library, almost blissfully easy. I highly recommend it.

For note, luerl is more of a library for erlang/elixir/BEAM and not a full language, as it is basically just lua's interpreter rewritten in erlang with some modifications to make it fit the system a bit better than normal Lua

Actually you'd be surprised at just how fast the BEAM passes messages, especially as it also includes linking, monitoring, cross-process, cross-system, among other features. When creating a multi-thread atomic messaging system in C++

Elixir has a little bit of Erlang in the compiler but at this point it would be fairly trivial to replace it with pure elixir, and most of the compiler is elixir already. However, Elixir does compile down to the EVM/BEAM (Erlang Virtu

Though, to be honest, most Erlang/Elixir devs would never think of using something like ZeroMQ as Erlang has more powerful and built in alternatives, or something like the Elixir Phoenix web framework that has built in much more powerf

It seems most of his issues stem from the language and the FFI, not necessarily the TEA style 'library' (which he claims is 'great' at the start). There is a Haskell -> JS compiler and an OCaml -> JS compiler, as
