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.

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.
