Why would you stop learning? You misunderstand me. I did not say that Elixir is not different from Erlang, what I said already two times and this is the third time is that you cannot send me to some case study about how code deployed on the

Except that “rockets” built with Erlang have been aerodynamic, production-ready, and deployed some 20 years before Elixir has even existed and they are still in use today. They did not start breaking off and, yes, they actually went to spac

What you said is equivalent to a Python programmer saying that adding semantical value to the “end” keyword in Ruby is unnecessarily awful because you can achieve the same by giving meaning to the indentation level. It’s an entirely subject

There’s also “Erlang the Movie”; the designers of Erlang demo some of the qualities of the Erlang system in a delightful way: https://youtu.be/xrIjfIjssLE

My point was not that everything which is written in Elixir can be written in Erlang but mostly that using a reference to a system that sustains a large amount of traffic which is implemented in Elixir and runs on top of the Erlang virtual

Concurrency is not parallelism. You conflate parallelism with concurrency in your comments both here and above. I should also mention that for a big part of its life the Erlang virtual machine has had no support for parallelism. Erlang was

Unrelated to your discussion with the parent, but I just wanted to point out that the fact that a system which was implemented in Elixir and runs on the Erlang virtual machine is able to sustain that traffic (and here I am referring to the

Erlang was invented 30 years ago to solve problems that were not easily solvable by the back then prevalent programming languages. The claim that Erlang hasn’t brought anything new to the table couldn’t be further from the truth. Designing

Erlang is a great programming language after one takes the time to understand the principles underlying it and its design. Everything fits very nicely into place. There are definitely things that could be done better, but then that’s the ca
