Type information generally isn’t used when doing property testing in Elixir, and Python has a very mature library too (hypothesis). If there’s a difference in popularity, it could just be culture. The Erlang/Elixir community is rather

It’s the only framework with significant usage in Elixir. I don’t think one framework per language is excessive.

It's also worth trying on OTP-22, which is reportedly much better at optimizing binary patterns: http://blog.erlang.org/OTP-22-Highlights/

I'd be curious how ETS does on that problem. The Erlang efficiency guide says an ETS table takes: > Initially 768 words + the size of each element (6 words + the size of Erlang data). The table grows when necessary. This might be to

Erlang distribution is just not meant to be used over the Internet, both for security and network reliability reasons. It’s something you would use on a restricted LAN. It’s also entirely optional. There’s an FAQ entry explaining the reason

Protocols are also an important feature. `IO.inspect`, `Enum`, etc. are very nice additions.

I have an app like that, but I found it convenient to use Phoenix anyway as it provides test helpers, a nice router, an efficient template (EEx) compiler with escaping, etc. I just ignore the parts I don't need. Phoenix LiveView looks

I think you’re misinterpreting the point of the article. It’s not gloating about how much they scale, or saying their particular tech beats other techs. It’s just explaining how to solve a specific scaling issue on a specific platform. As

I've heard various stories of people being caught shortly after crossing the border (by accident or otherwise), via cameras and so on. Granted, these might be isolated anecdotes.

Doesn’t that mean you have to use the same language, libraries, and DB for every service?

I like that Mint keeps dependencies to a minimum. I wanted to use the Gun client in the past, but couldn’t because Gun and Cowboy would depend on different versions of Cowlib (this is less of a problem now that Cowboy 2 is well supported in

Say you have a bug in a minor feature, that most people wouldn’t care about, but triggers the crash. Now someone’s trying to use this feature once or twice per minute. If you rely on the infra for recovery, you’re going to be in serious tro

This book is great! I was already familiar with the basics of property testing, but the book shows it can be used for way more than just the usual JSON parsing examples I had seen until now. In particular I liked the idea of negative testin

Whether it’s mainstream is debatable, but I think Elixir is a really successful example of extensible language, and indeed it managed to do this without s-expressions. Various libraries extend the language for HTTP routing, parsing, DB quer

Erlang macros are basically text substitution. It's similar to C pre-processor directives. Elixir macros are a completely different beast, they can manipulate the AST Lisp-style. A very elegant example is Elixir's unicode module,

I enjoy Elixir tremendously, but usually I’m forced to use another language (Python) due to popularity, not technical merits. It’s hard to sell anything that’s not in the TIOBE top 10. To answer your comment more directly though, for many s

It's unlikely to change between the SSO login page and the application's login page, and it doesn't matter if it changes later on since the app can issue its own session cookie which isn't tied to an IP.
