That's a deep thought, it puts the discussion in a great perspective for further thinking. Thanks!

Great response. I will take some time to think about it, thanks!

The problem is the "intelligence" word causes more harm than value. It makes the whole world afraid of what is in fact just matrix multiplications. We don't know what "intelligence" means, but we know it isn't

Great article, thanks for sharing. I’ve been using elixir for the past 5 years, and I’ve had pretty much the same questions along the way…some of them I was able to figure out by myself, and others I only learn by reading comments of posts

Problem with writing scripts in Erlang VM is the slow startup time...it isn't suited for that. Although I love it for pretty much everything else besides scripts and executables.

The best part is to name "super inteligence" a glorified ipsum lorum generator

Of course you don't need a hammer if got no screws to hit. You probably only worked in very small projects. Use the right tool for the right job. The tradeoffs on each scenario for each tool is one of the most important things we have

Ecto queries are much closer to DB queries, when you use the macro syntax. But if you come from an ORM perspective and expect the same experience on Ecto, yes I agree it won't please you.

> Ecto as the main way of interacting with the database was a miserable experience That's very common when you don't know DBs. But DB savy developers usually claim the opposite, because the syntax is more familiar.

I guarantee your life will be simpler with Erlang.

> why not use Rust entirely instead of as a FFI into Elixir Because many times you value fault-tolerance and distribution more than performance.

The "written in Rust" part is just because it is so impossible hard to do anything in Rust that its developers have to brag about it.

That happened to me, but much worse. They said I performed well, but in their words I “wasn’t the long term employee they envisioned for the company”. That was the best lesson I received about work ethics and helped a lot to shape the rest

For me, it feels like a superpower: we control the electrons. We make them work for us. In past, all we could do was fire. Later light. Now we can make them store, process and present information. Not everybody can do it, just programmers.

I work in a company along with dozens of Elixir engineers. It's pretty rare that anybody needs to read/write any Erlang code. It's a bit rare that anybody has to read Erlang documentation. And when that happens, it isn't

Why not use C just to spit out HTML files that you can host somewhere? Why the need for the binary?
