I am not sure about other languages, but I have been programming in Java for many years, and Typescript does what Java does (minus performance on a long running VM on CPU bound computations) at a rate that I assume should be sufficient for

I agree that there is some learning experience, but I am not sure how valuable that is. My experience working at a startup has been a learning experience on how not to do things (tech) and how wrong management feels - but I actually find th

For fault-tolerance in case the box is unresponsive for whatever reason, I think you would have to have a network behind a load balancer. So the issue of network latency still exists, but probably to a lesser extent?

My limited understanding of erlang/elixir is that it helps easily run actor model programs (fail-safe loosely defined as something with retries built-in) in a grid of long-running interconnected instances. With more and more focus on &

Disclaimer: I am a lay technical person and don't know much about AI. I find this article somewhat condescending. I look at all the current development as stepping stones to progress, not an overnight success that does everything flawl

Used iphone for 4-5 years, and switched to Pixel 1. Initially, thought it was crap and regretted it. 6 months later - it beats a lot of my experiences with the iPhone. Only a few things are well done on iPhone than on Android, and I am not

The author may be wrong in some areas, but I think he is also right elsewhere. I don't think your TLDR is accurate.

Possibly tangential: Assuming one is sticking to AWS as cloud provider, wouldn't it be cost-effective and less devops to use AppSync, Lambda, Cognito instead of Elixir? I ask because I am debating whether or not I should invest any tim

Might be off-topic. It seems a majority of people are against ads. What are the top few reasons why people dislike ads, excluding reasons such as them just being a nuisance? My own guesses are: * People don't like the idea that the pla

I think it's fair to assume that most of us have been schooled in imperative then later OO styles, with probably no attention (my case) or little attention given to FP styles. Having tried FP a little bit now, I think it's quite

Alternatively, based on my assumption that English is only a second language for the authors[1] I also think it might just be a cultural/language issue. Being a non-native english speaker myself, I frequently find myself differing in

I agree with the author that blind religious devotion to a paradigm in not healthy. I see FP and imperative as complimentary and we also see that manifesting by FP idioms being baked into traditionally imperative languages. Use the tool whe

As someone who recently started learning FP in Haskell, I think one cannot look at individual parts and compare OO to FP. I find that while both have strengths and weaknesses, in FP the sum of parts is much greater to appreciate than in OO

I have programmed in Java for some time now, and I have only recently dabbled in the functional world (Haskell, and still ways to go before getting any better in it). My observations about it is that functional programming in typed and immu
