It doesn't take any time, you just see if there's people outside or not when the doors open.

I really like the compromise taken by Ecto (in Elixir): higher level than writing SQL directly, but without lazy loading, callbacks, and other features that make it difficult to see what a piece of code is really doing.

Have you considered the possibility that some western narratives might be upvoted because they're popular with the (mostly western) audience of Reddit, and not because governments are manipulating the site?

If I understand correctly, you're saying Erlang/Elixir code would be easier to understand and work with if functions that did I/O or message passing etc. were labeled as such, via type info. I don't entirely disagree, bu

What is it about pure functional that makes concurrency much easier? Is there a code sample that would illustrate it? I've done both Haskell and Erlang/Elixir and yet I don't really see what you're referring to concretel

That sounds odd to me. If you say このリュックは大きくて便利 it's clearly the backpack that's convenient, not the statement, so why would 大きくていい be different?

What you describe sounds more like Orleans grains. Erlang's lightweight processes serve a different purpose than actors or objects, they're really about fault tolerance. A typical Phoenix app spawns one process for every HTTP requ

Sure? Which option is better totally depends on your use case. If it's a microservice running on 500 cores ($1M/year licensing), and a rewrite would cost 1 person-year (say $300k), then the rewrite is clearly worth it. But if you&

The users I know personally work on internal services in large companies. They didn't necessarily choose it, some did but some just inherited a codebase and have to deal with it. I work in a large company though, so I have no idea if t

I agree. It's still a very disruptive change for enterprise Akka users.

by ramchip 4y ago
$2k once per year is irrelevant for enterprise, but not $2k per core. With bigger deployments that's more than the entire dev team's salaries.

It's a problem for people who use Akka already, not those who won't adopt it. The choices are to rewrite the service, pay a massive licensing cost ($2k _per core_!), or live with 3-year old releases with no security updates. It&#x

I think many of the business apps I use (banking, train tickets, shops...) are literally just webviews, and could benefit from this kind of system to make a much more native-feeling app at a low budget. A lot of these apps aren't parti

Interesting, I was thinking the opposite. Elixir Forum has so much volume I stopped following it 1-2 years ago and now hang out in the much quieter Erlang Forum :D What gave you that impression?

That's a bit of an oversimplification. If you're OK with remote, it's not hard to find Elixir devs. You can also start with just one or two senior people, and for the rest hire people with web experience (or whatever else is

Given all the optimizations mentioned, I'd guess they used intrusive lists, which aren't straightforward to abstract. You'd have to use C++ templates or mess with the pre-processor to instantiate a copy of the functions for e
