There's a tremendous amount of truth to this.

It's also driving almost all of the non-Google ad networks, has a pretty sizable footprint in high-finance, and increasing numbers of online gaming (mobile and console) backends are built with it (or its younger cousin, Elixir).

I don't see how it's possible to manage transactions fully client-side while adhering to the consistency model that's being claimed. The best you'd be able to do seems like read-committed isolation.

I'm 100% certain that I'm a better engineer and designer/architect as a result of learning Erlang. Not just the language, but the OTP patterns and also the BEAM VM internals. I design and build better software in other langua

If you really, really wanted to stick to Ruby-like syntax for whatever reason, and you wanted to do "reactive programming", couldn't you just use Elixir? A VM with soft-realtime semantics, OTP patterns as architectural buildi

Yeah, I hadn't used Windows in many, many years, but when I did it was to run Mastercam and SolidWorks. I used it briefly to do Visual C++ and .Net CF development after that, but relatively quickly moved onto projects with a lot of ope

It's the best possible bridge platform for *nix development. POSIX enough that tools and environments work pretty well without a mountain of hacks and workarounds (e.g. Cygwin). Mac enough that the user experience is coherent and consi

I thought the problem it was supposed to solve was to provide a relatively simple language, that performs reasonably well, and which produces statically compiled artifacts to make deployment much easier and lighter-weight? Go seemed to be b

I'm not seeing the problem. You can already pipe inputs to the compiler, and those inputs don't have to be from a file on-disk, they can just be fed over stdin. Several compilers, including GCC, support using in-memory only move

My biggest issue with "DevOps" is that it seems like it should fundamentally be a profession/methodology that rapidly renders itself into obsolescence if its creators and practitioners were actually any good at it. The whole

One of my favorite things about how companies interview is how they assume their own competence in actually assessing people at a level that is woefully out of line with reality. For example. "We ask puzzle questions because it helps

Yeah, it makes for some very interesting uses cases for code-generation. I've converted entire databases of mostly static data into nothing but a bunch of exact-match function head signatures and let one of the fastest paths in the VM

I'm not sure how that helps fix the HA/FT clustering setup? I can hurl more data at the system and have it go unavailable during a partition or lose updates when it heals?
