Coming from React + Phoenix, adopting Phoenix Live View has been a big productivity win for my team as we are all full-stack developers.

If you really want a clean slate, I think Elixir & Phoenix is the most promising stack available right now and is worth investing in. Channels, PubSub, Live View, and BEAM clustering can really simplify building interactive web applicat

I'm curious what the author would think of Pop_OS by System 76. I've been using that as my main distro for a couple years now and love it. When paired with one of their machines (I own a Thelio and a Lemur Pro), things are pretty

This has been my experience as well. I left Elixir for a brief stint with Kotlin, a modern OOP language, and it was jarring how many abstractions and incidental complexity I had to wrangle with to be productive and ship well-tested features

Congratulations to the Crystal team! I know many Rubyists who would love to write a language with the runtime benefits of Go, but values and design principles of Ruby. For those looking to get into a young ecosystem, Crystal looks like a gr
