They don't have to. An usual Elixir problem is IO bound, which means that most of the time you don't have to do GC. The BEAM GC each process isolately, which means that if a process die before a GC is needed, the BEAM just clean t

You also have to keep in mind that, sadly, most of the toolchain for embedded is... quite old and proprietary. There is a whole ecosystem that force you to stay stucked at old stuff. I know a ton of embedded company that still have windows

Yup completely agree. I was hired to do that. Dive in their data, old and new, in my current company. I got insight. I got valuable answers. And when i brought them up they said "uh yeah but we can't change it. It is a political

Interestingly, i think most of your speed on Stemmer come from using String.replace_suffix, which use binary pattern matching instead of regex. Nice learning :)

And because Python has a really nice history with C. Really help to link to some classic things that were written in C.

Small correction : there is a good (not stellar but good) interop with C/Rust/c++ on the Beam. NIFs work quite well even if htey have quirks and are limited. And with ports and Dirty Schedulers, you have other solutions for more c

Which is exactly what micro controllers programming is. I worked and still do some work for embedded programming. If you never did it before : OS make life super super easy. Really.

Chris is quite big on saying that he chose Brunch because it is working quite well and avoid him to even touch the frontend. I bet Phoenix will not make a so heavy choice on frontend and keep the default to vanilla js.

A couple of answers : 1) anything that is not just a PoC with limited amount of people connecting to it. For 10 clients connected at all, sure use the thing you know well. It will be easier to use and write, and your time to market will be

Then you are not in functional programming place anymore, and you may want to use an imperative language. I think it is John Hughes that said "The real question is not 'when should i use functional programming?' but 'whe

as a training... i read. That is all. I begun when i was 5. Never stopped. So i nearly always was like that. The more you read the more you train your brain to read. And your mind to understand how to deal with knowledge and information. Fi

Multiple things. First it is something i like. Secondly, it is the only way i can absorb information in a way that works. Talks, video, podcast, etc are too slow for me. It lacks a good throughput of information and meaning. Which means i t

Well to be honest if it is badly written and contain nothing of interest...

You can tear out any part of Phoenix. Try to look at passing --no-html to the phoenix new command :) There is even a generator for json API iirc.

Jiffy is not erlang but NIFs that call to C. So it is probably the source of the problem more than Elixir vs Erlang.

AS someone that read at least one book per day if not more since the age of 6, yes it is possible. I can read between 100 to 200 page per hour, depending of the book. You reach a storage and money problem fast (Ebook are a savior nowadays).

While i love the idea of a Decentralised Internet, i would say that it does not solve the problems that well. An awful lot of these techs are completely block-chain and consensus dependant. Which makes sense (you are in a byzantine environm

well in that case you enter a completely different world. Hard RealTime system are not really only "embedded". They also exists for bigger things. It is just a really different set of way to think. And a really hard one i may add.

As someone that has played in the embedded world too, i struggled with that last year. But let's be honest. Except if you have really strong constraint about power consumption and form factor, most of these small stuff are far easier t

The idea seems quite simple. If you want to be able to tell that you can't decide what the person is doing, you need to lack something about his previous state. Which means that even if you know everything that happened between the ini

Let's look at it the other way. Launching a movie cost a ton of money. So to keep a diverse culture ( we all agreee diversity is great isn't it?) and diverse way to think, you need to help less mainstream way to think. You spend y

As someone that was a student until last year, the real hard problem is that we have teachers that want this type of comments. Having different standards for different teachers the same day is a lot of context switching... A better idea w

Interesting, i think there is a telk to have here. Because Phoenix is not Rail. No part is forced. Everything is modular. Maybe there is a need to put an emphasis on that more on the main guides. Because in the end, the only "mandatory

Hello. Really nice write up. To follow up on your list of useful learning references, that talk from Chris is a bit old, but it covers all the basics. Nearly everything is still up to date. It is a bit long, but it takes time, cover everyth
