This one's at the top of my list as well. I will never work for Facebook.

That's mainly because we started exporting most of the wood to North America, creating our own shortage here in Europe. Hence, prices went up here too.

I write my SQL as follows:

    SELECT `second_column`,
           `fourth_column`
      FROM `table_name`
     WHERE `first_column` = 'Value'
       AND `third_column` = 3
  ORDER BY `fifth_column` ASC
     LIMIT 1

He mentioned "even basic programming", that's what I ran with.

No, it really isn't. The worst thing that can happen in programming is my application throwing an error (assuming PHP/Python or similar). That's really nothing compared to when I'm driving a heap of metal at high speeds around the streets together with other people doing the same.

Seems like a good start to a useful project! I'm a bit turned off by the lack of customisation options for the servers though. I would like a bit more options in terms of what gets installed and what not (I don't need Bazaar, Mercurial _AND_ git installed f.e. and I'd like nginx i.o. Apache).

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the project!

It's an awesome project and I like how it significantly lowers the entry barrier to get into Erlang programming for a lot of people. Personally I just haven't really had the time to play around with it yet but it's definitely on my list of things to try.

Also, I don't get that there seems to be such a divide between the Erlang and Elixir community. It should be much more mingled together imho.

Why not use a real-world example of something you would write a class for? The best tutorials are the ones that teach you things you can actually use. I've never used an Animal or Vehicle class myself. A better example might be to write something like an Article class, and then build out to a very simple and minimal blog?
