Both :) You can pattern match in function head (definition)

Also since the VM is optimised for functional programming with no shared memory - it can do tricks you normally cant that help with speed. Like avoid GC in some cases.

That sounds like very basic CS stuff, so I guess "CS degeee" here means B.Sc. level knowledge? ;)

So, why would you write systems requiring concurrency and fault tolerance in Swift? What happens when a request explodes? Can it do hot code loading?

Well, yes, the idea that there will be GC pauses and you just cannot get a _consistent_ framerate no matter how hard you try does not sound good. (Disclaimer I currently write games with Unity ;D)

Hi
We haven't measured the actual time. I would say the time learning Elixir has not been a hurdle or anyway limiting factor to the projects we are working on.
We basically switched as a company from writing servers in C#/nodejs/python to just Elixir. Did this gradually during end of last year and this spring.
Though I must mention that all of our developers were already familiar with multiple languages. And since we have multiple projects going on we can transfer knowledge easily. So YMMV.

Have a look at Erlang and OTP framework which makes it really easy to compose your application of smaller applications. At least for learning.
Communication between nodes is transparent on the language level, its all message passing between processes.
There is a approachable language with great tooling on top of the Erlang VM [1] and a great web framework [2].

One nice thing using Unity/mono enables for us to use the same game logic code from client to backend.

Se run a MMO on top of mono 3/linux. perf is great. Only mono related problem is that there seems to be some rare cases when the VM manages to crash.
