Congrats to the whole team! It's also worth noting that Ecto [1], the core-maintained Elixir ORM-like package, also hit v1 earlier this week and has backends for dealing with: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, SQLite3 & MongoDB. [1] https

I accidentally upvoted your comment which is annoying as I think your attitude stinks. This is a useful project, what language it was or wasn't written in should be irrelevant. You'd already pointed out that it disappointed you, a

Postgres has fantastic documentation, but it still is rather intimidating to the completely new developer. For example, take the following scenario: 1. Go to project's website 2. Click docs/documentation. This is what y

Out of all those, >Uber alone sets prices is the killer one. I guess the only solution to that would be to make it more of a market where drivers could choose their rate to compete.

Take a look at Elixir on your dive too; it compiles to run on the Erlang VM, follows the OTP model and you can use native Erlang libraries directly in your code. Overall it offers a higher level entrance to the Erlang world and coming from

Can anyone explain why a dependency of this app is a "working Go environment"? I thought one of golang's selling points was the fact that it created a simple binary. As far as I can tell, the Go environment is simply being us

It's really great to hear that, thank you. Nice to know the performance crowd's rants are eventually being heard.

The problem is the site is not sending any (useful) HTML during the first HTTP request. Therefore the browser has to wait for the JS to render the page before it can even think about displaying anything. The fact the site then loads content

With no reasons as to why, this reads like either a paid comment or a fanboy/girl. Would you care to expand?

I'm sure you're well aware but that server should not be trusted now for anything sensitive (or anything at all really) until it's been re-imaged.
