   "Our core services aren’t written in Rust, they are Elixir-based." They haven't switched, just use Rust at some places for performance improvements.

   What I've learned from my career so far is that developers hate history. They just don't want to learn from experience. They see the new shiny thing and jump on the hype train. Then they come to conclusions like "mongo was no

   There's still nothing like Elixir's Ecto in JS land...

    You're not seeing such projects because you're not looking and going to choose Express again because that's what you've been using. Consider that there might be better tools for a particular job.

    Yes, it's a problem in rails too. My current project is a rewrite (in Node) of big rails monolith which is full of synchronous http requests and SQL queries in loops. The sad thing is senior Node developers just port the code, seeing n

    I'm 100% with you on everything you said. It's too bad I've seen many JavaScript devs do queries in loops. Queries that can easily be batched. It's interesting for me what's the cause for this low level of relationa

    I like how the code in (almost) all the examples can lead to horrible side-effects.

    Why would anyone care if `brok` is implemented in Haskell?

    At the same time you would want to see results as soon as possible because, and I know that from personal experience, at first you shouldn't care about makefiles, pointer arithmetic and actually most of the things a C programmer should

    Check out the Either monad in Haskell. It has an implementation in the JS library funfix.

    You might even want to use the Stream module. Beautiful Elixir.
