yeah each individual process has low resource allocation. There could be millions running on the same box so that makes sense. Luckily, computational parallelization is not a big challenge with new libraries such as: https://gith

Personally I spent most of my learning curve on the BEAM facilities rather than Elixir itself. Elixir as a language is simple and fairly imperative, it's quick to pick up. Using the language for data transformations and such is a breez

I'd say the feature of BEAM is fault-tolerant massive scalability of concurrency rather than performance/throughput. JVM as a platform lacks all the concurrency tooling of BEAM like the integrated debugging and monitoring tools. T

I have to agree with you here, I find no exploitation in committing to open source projects. I believe nobody does that for money and the expectations are clear in that regard to begin with. That said, of course I'd like to see good op

I've never used Kubernetes so I don't know what it provides. But I doubt it could provide the mechanisms for two application nodes to connect to each other and automatically share real-time state. Or the monitoring services to the

Elixir along with OTP and BEAM is sitting at a significantly higher abstraction level than Go. Everything is built around the distributed stateful soft-real time problem domain. While maintaining fault-tolerance. You can have that in Go as

It's fair to say Erlang's strength or appeal is not the language itself but the platform you instruct with it. That's also where the learning curve is.

Actually, Elixir did add the bells and whistles to Erlang, sort of. That is pretty much the whole point of Elixir.

In all fairness it's been around for quite some time. Moreover, the abundance of frameworks is not inherently a bad thing in my opinion. You don't need to learn it if it doesn't solve a problem for you after all.

On a more abstract level I feel he was trying to enable/enhance deep work, just this particular implementation didn't fly the way he expected it to. Instead of targeting people who are somewhat annoyed by slack and the like I beli

Here in Finland all personal tax records are public so we don't even need to contemplate on this question.
