   Yes, you don't get sync for free when using the ! operator in Erlang, but that's why you use the OTP constructs like handle_call (sync) and handle_cast (async) to model that sort of behavior... Throwing the ! operator around hapha

   That's the best way to describe it. The concurrency model and metaprogramming bits mean that effortless to make cool stuff with it. And it turns out that's way more fun that wrestling with the jvm or other high friction tools. The

   In Elixir you can annotate functions with type signatures and then use a tool like Dialyzer(1) to perform static analysis on the compiled bytecode. There is tooling that integrates with mix in Elixir called which makes this easy(2) 1) http

   Not just leverage over their employees, but they (ie: not pinterest, but most companies) also get to claw back all the options left un-exercised by employees that do quit.

   Also from Vancouver, but will not be voting because I'm not a citizen. I'd be on the fence about this decision. Not because of the statue or the CEO salary; you're right, in the grand scheme of things they aren't very i

    Maybe they shouldn't be expanding to places that lack the required infrastructure that enables them to operate their business safely. This is absolutely Uber's problem.

    I have no rails experience, but have written a lot of python stuff in django and flask, and some node stuff in express. I guess compared to django (and rails..), it's absolutely a smaller framework, so it's easier to reason about

    My experience with Phoenix was super positive. I built https://www.vuln.pub with it while learning Elixir (no erlang experience..) and it couldn't have been easier. Everyone was very helpful on IRC if I did run into problem

    It definitely could, though the goal is for them to be small and really just reference your package manager's files, like package.json or requirements.txt. That's a good point though, a small command line tool could easily take a

    Your second point is extremely important. My elixir code is way cleaner than my node.js code. You aren't constantly thinking about async stuff because each connection is in its own process. Just write your code and let the process sche

    I'm in that position now, and the more I think about it the more it bugs me. I think you're absolutely right.

    Thanks! I understand the googleability is a bit of a chicken and egg problem, but I've really enjoyed the language so far so I'm trying to stick with it and lean a little bit every day. Thanks for all the work you've done.

    In my limited experience (about 2 weeks) with elixir, that's really the only thing I'm having a hard time with. Problems you encounter (due to the fact that you're learning a New Thing...not any fault of the language itself)
