They’ll do everything but adopt Capsicum. Shame.

Since you’re talking about threads in the context of the BEAM, you might want to give it a deeper look. There are no threads there, at least not OS threads on the developer’s disposal.

As always, lists like these don’t include Joe Armstrong's PhD thesis “Making reliable distributed systems in the presence of software errors” - http://erlang.org/download/armstrong_thesis_2003.pdf

I guess it's a play on Roman numerals? VIII is 5 because V as a hand gesture stands for 2? Or I just can't count properly.

You are not 100% correct. Modules in Elixir are like namespaces, they contain functions. They're "static" and don't communicate with anything. Processes communicate with each other via messages.

I currently work on a glorified admin panel. The code should be the easy part. Unfortunately, the codebase is absolute trash. The code and the requirements are hard. My colleagues which drove the codebase to this miserable state think they’re developer extraordinaires. They don’t see the problems, at all. I can’t change anything and if I ask to be put on a different project I might be fired.

Elixir and Phoenix.

What would be the advantage of Rio? Curious, not trying to start an argument.

Oh, man. Again, people call MCP endpoints REST-ful when the format is JSON-RPC. That's why we can't have nice things.

So you basically agree but complain there are no new arguments against AI programming in the article?

I’m a software developer, a generalist, with more than 10 years of experience in delivering robust code in industries like online games, healthcare, education, finance, and staff management. Being a team player, I don’t hesitate to give and receive feedback in order for my team to grow. I’m eager to learn, improve, and use best-in-class technologies to build scalable, fault-tolerant, and predictable software. In the last 5 years I’ve been using Elixir to build everything from system daemons to UI heavy applications.

Yeah… I’ve been a professional Elixir developer for 5+ years and additional 4 as a hobby. The quality of the ecosystem and the practices are nowhere near those in OCaml. Sad to say it. People just want to write imperative procedural code and monkey patch in tests so they can test anything at all.

In my case, Elixir is the best language, plus the BEAM, for everything that consumes from the network or listens on a socket. It's just too easy.

But then again, why would I use CL for this when I can use Elixir? I’m not the original commenter but I too can’t find a use case for CL.

I hope they don’t send any to Bulgaria. Our PM is waiting exactly this to declare we’re joining the Russian federation.

For the systems you mentioned I’d choose Erlang or Elixir over Java or Closure. The right runtime for the right problems.

The whole article feels like a rationalisation for vibe coding your product from now on.

This is my mentality but when it comes to my company. I want to have clients for which I consistently produce solid work, no flash, no news headlines. Doing the work and quietly building a reputation.

Unfortunately, it made me even more sad because the project I'm working on now is complete trash. Every line outdoes the previous in the dumbest thing possible. Four years at the company and not a single greenfield project for me, only well established piles of... you get the idea.

After school I played countless hours of Euro Truck Simulator. It was an awesome escapism. Being a truck driver, driving through sun and snow, in different parts of Europe. Crazy drivers at night, needed to think quick in difficult situations.

Did Linus Torvalds convince you, with his history of outbursts, that Linux is done?

In what way the article convinced you that Andrew Kelley is not professional enough for a serious project like Zig? Isn't his contribution to the language what's important?

See SGML for a markup language.

It’s a problem of philosophy, not tooling.

This is exactly what happens in a typical Elixir project even though Ecto is a query builder and not an ORM. People define their domain entities as database tables. The result is, from my latest project, you have user and organisation memberships which are a list of membership records. This is carried throughout the application while it should be a hash map of organisation IDs and membership data, so you can check if a user is a member of an organisation in constant time. Of course keeping ourselves coupled to the database representation is easier than defining a view, for example, which takes care of presenting the data in a useful form for the application.

Development of Zig feels so wholesome.

Did they die?

Just yesterday I was thinking about the BEAM and would it be tidier if it were written in Zig.

Yeah, but you must know about them and the possible bug first in order to allow them...

This is just HTTP. The definitive guide to REST is "Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures" by Roy Fielding.
