Haha, I was referring to feeling the implicitness of "everyone came from Ruby" which I didn't, rather than anything in the language. Sorry if I was unclear :)

Phoenix is necessary for the success of Elixir absolutely. Because languages at this level of abstraction need a web framework to thrive. I'm not sure I find Ecto and Phoenix as central to Elixirs value proposition in general. I'm

Coming into Elixir from mostly doing Python but having it strongly recommended by a Rubyist I was a bit surprised to find myself in the middle of an implicit ex-Ruby world. It has been fine. But in contrast to the article, Elixir has always

Sorry, your nit might be wrong :) As elcritch covered the GRiSP case I'll just try to add some useful context. Nerves stacks the BEAM on top of a small Buildroot Linux setup. The general rule I hear from the Nerves team is "if it

I was entertained until I clicked a link and awoke my baby in the next room with sudden audio. Trying to get back into the YouTube app to stop Premium background audio playback was .. hectic. Site seemed slightly entertaining, baby is awake

Just to note that Nerves is for devices that can run Linux. So it covers a different case compared to AtomVM.

If you want the reliability you open yourself to the eventuality that you might have to put in some of the work to achieve it. Things like SPI, I2C and GPIO can be expected to work with Nerves + Elixir Circuits. But some hobby hardware is d

I tried to be fair but I can't necessarily strike the balance you'd like :) I am disappointed because I expected more openness from the new direction of Microsoft than this indicates. In most of the places I've heard of LiveS

There is. As mentioned in the blog post it can't use the marketplace or the proprietary extensions though.

Ah, yeah, I saw that. It could definitely be good for some cases. I think it would be good for GitHub and such. I think the incentives for fairly successful creators just isn't there. They'll get more from their dedicated fanbase.

A newsletter subscriber list is incredibly higher in value than most blog visitor traffic. They have chosen to subscribe, you can contact them. You don't know your RSS subscriber count. It is a more highly engaged group, easier to buil

Not the author. But my main concern would be maintainability issues from package churn. But also that I don't enjoy working with JS and its tooling. It is so common a choice now so it might be worth calling out explicitly.

When I've been using open source libraries without significant docs I've mostly benefitted from actually reading the code. Assuming you have the source. This can be incredibly varying in complexity. I've found a large Elixir

Most businesses don't need "great" developers. They just need to get the work done. Getting someone who is really skilled can of course be beneficial but it certainly has the problems of retention, things like providing inter

I've spent a lot of time thinking about getting back to what I find a healthier set of trade-offs in development and healthier product. I lile this idea that the current pushback against modern JS trends is simply backing up and settin

I think it would be naive to think that their stance is more than a marketing strategy. But it does mean they take a stronger stance on user data than others. They at least have incentives to protect user data so they can bash Google about

Your standards seem fine. But for a lot of companies the initial techies set the approach and a lot of people find the thoight of these practices stifling. Not necessarily in practice but it can sound very heavy. I'm self-taught and I

LiveView will take some time to really get general acceptance and will probably always be somewhat controversial. Both for server roundtrips and because it is so oddly specific and doesn't have a comparable solution in most other langu

I find this a cynical take as far as EEE goes. But even with Microsofts mostly solid efforts into open source I find myself a bit skeptical as well. Most recently with the Live Share extension for VS Code. From skimming the licensing it is
