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? ;)

And Riak

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)

+1 Its the same in Finland. Now my kids walk to school every day.

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.

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.
