It won't never be even close to native code because of the BEAM overhead, lack of typing, memory layout. It is suited for concurrency not computationally intensive workloads. Not to mention the use of gpus.

Elixir is suited for reliable and fast servers, not computing workloads... It could control other processes but it could hardly compete with native ML libraries. Also calling foreign code from Elixir messes with the beam scheduled if it tak

Get medical help. I had very bad OCD symptoms 8 years ago and citalopram has completely eliminated all symptoms, no side effects. By medical help I mean both a psychiatrist and a psychologist. And keep in mind that you should try a few prof

I think the AST is easier to see in erlang.

Erlang is not remotely based off prolog. It shares the syntax because it was first implemented in prolog.

Is that de same technique as in learn you a haskell?

Objects are parametrizations of functions that possibly close over variables. Having types with functions defined in types with dot notation is a different thing.

No offense but your commentary is on the verge of being just misleading. Rust is not OOP and go is definitely not a replacement for node.

Yep. I worked with programmers who used compared all users to all users to check for pairs of users close to one another; they had no knowledge of spatial search trees. The job that calculated all those pairs dropped from hours to seconds.

Knowing CS is extremely important. That's the difference between being a modern day factory worker and a high value expert.

I see dependency injection as writing functions as combinators and I frequently use category theory constructs. I work mainly with functional programming. Also lambda calculus helps me think about abstractions. Understanding compilers and i

This is a prime example of numbers with no value added. Just spitting out figures. No insight. For example relating frameworks to build times.

I recommend elixir with plug/cowboy. Phoenix is nice too. On the front end try Elm.

I used elixir at work for a few projects, and we will use it in more projects. We rewrote a rails app using the Phoenix framework and now we are using elixir in services. From my anecdotal experience functional programming leads to code tha

this is completely trivial in functional programming.

Funny how "machine learning at the core" is a selling point. ML is a technique not a feature...

I'm in it for the single sign in, but I am working my way out of it. But otherwise I would pay to use Google with no ads.

Yep much more then syntax. It has great metaprogramming support, better records and polymorphism support.

It's not that ICOs are bad, it's that there are people naive enough to believe this kind of shit.
