"Over one of the other" practically means "over Elixir". Erlang as a language is very simple, without any magic that Elixir has with its marcos. And there's the tooling aspect: you're not detached from the VM a

Dude, my whole point revolves around the fact that the most prevalent behaviour for a given OS is OS-specific, which is a fucking tautology . What kind of feedback you expect me to accept from somebody who tries to make me believe the taut

I don't see what you don't understand. I demonstrated that on FreeBSD created file inherits the group of its parent directory even without SGID, i.e. that FreeBSD exhibits BSD semantics. I also added that if you can have BSD seman

So, basically, nothing fancy or different from what everybody else is doing, maybe with the little exception of keeping things on premises instead of sending to the internets (a.k.a. "the cloud").
