Have a look at the phoenix framework, written in elixir. While there aren't that many drag'n'drop solutions available than in meteor, everything is rock solid, fast and fault tolerant. Oh, and it is very familiar for rails

Try Elixir, it runs on the ErlangVM and has a much nicer syntax, plus metaprogramming through Lisp-style macros, while preserving every feature that makes erlang great. https://pragprog.com/book/elixir/programming-

Of course you can be productive on an iPad, no question. I have a keyboard-case for it, so writing a few letters or stuff like that is fairly straightforward and without much hassle. It comes down on what "producing" means for y

My iPad (air 2) works for me as the perfect "consumption" device wherever I are. Reading blogs, kindle app for books (prefer it to the old kindle device by far), twitter, facebook, mails, and so on. Also a few games like fallout s

(Backend) Ruby/Rails: Elixir/Phoenix seems to be the next evolutionary step (functional, websockets, parallel, concurrent, fast). It's been awesome so far. (Backend) Node.js: For extremely rapid prototyping Meteor.js remains

Seems that there are only massive benefits to use a blocker. And a good chunk of the most valuable audience will be gone in a matter of a few weeks... Whatever hurts the advertising industry increases the pressure to find real business mo

I used both, Elixir/Erlang and Erlang/Elixir. And Both variants exactly one time. The only small preference is that I used the Elixir/Erlang variant as the first one, but hey, one could argue that coming from Go/Node, el

Agreed, Rust is superior to Go in almost any way. Especially when stuff becomes more than a 30-lines-snippet, Rust shines.

Becoming ultra popular isnt an advantage at all. Look how much crap gets produced with JS or PHP, tons of crappy libraries shallow the few good ones, people write throwaway code like there is no tomorrow and real (tm) developers have to m

Hey man, some people (like me) just don't like to work on the JVM, despite it's advantages and superior features like the GC. Just accept it. Having worked with java, scala, jruby and closure, something always is clumsy, be it int

The point of erlang isn't beating micro benchmarks. Everyone and his dog knows that other techs have better performance. The ease of scaling across machines, fault tolerance and low latency variation are more typical selling points

For example I want to buy a sofa. I went through the process to collect nice sofas online, but then went to the corresponding physical stores to see them in real. As it turns out, actually sitting on some or viewing close details made me di

When you come from a legacy ball of mud in written in any language, a rewrite alone brings loads of benefits if done properly. In most cases, the evented design of node requires some re-thinking and forbids simple copy-paste of the old stuf

The best "framework" node.js has to offer is Meteor. Nothing beats Meteor for rapid prototyping so far. Node was the next big thing a few years ago, I was an evangelist by myself. Today, drawbacks and backlashes appear more and mo

I use chrome as a on-demand flash player when needed, and hands down, the DevTools are excellent. But other than that... I switched to safari a few months ago and after a little "learning curve" I love it. Scrolling is butter smoo

Elixir, without the clumsy anonymous function calls (eg.: `sum.(1,2)`. Everything else is pretty much what I want: Functional, not too strict in purity, concurrent, compiled, dynamic, optional static typing, tests in the language core (not

Nope, I won't, since it's basically impossible to prove it from the outside. But the raw possibility is enough. But I think that finding truly relevant results without clutter and people gaming the system is much harder than perso

When you want to investigate about something new to you, you have to trust what a search engine gives you. When for whatever reason google wants to influence people, a little modification of search results for specific topics can make a big

I'd pay 10€/month for a google alternative. It should rank resources based on relevancy, not mixed up with any advertising or business-political reasons. And no filter bubble please (opt-out?).

The funny thing is, that I actually never mentioned privacy concerns here, my "anon" name comes from funny times on 4chan several years ago. I just don't want to build anything of value ontop of their products, either because

This is a long story of issues mixed with political reasons and sprinkled with european anti-google stances. While this may be interesting to discuss with others, my experience is that it would end in fundamentalisitc flame wars... This doe

I couldn't get the hand on one yet, so i honestly don't know how well it performs on a daily basis. I went with the new 13"pro for now, and so far its been excellent.
