I know that Elixir isn't supposed to supersede Erlang, and Jose Valim had made it clear that he wanted to create a community that could also benefit Erlang users. For many, Elixir users won't have to even touch Erlang. But for some, this new language community is a great stepping stone for those who want an easier path into Erlang.
Making broad and dominating statements shaming other languages is truly not one of the community values.
Hi HN! This is my fun side project that I'm using to teach myself lower-level concepts around multithreading and sockets, outside from my usual high-level front-end development. There's still a lot of stuff to implement, but I finally have a working "demo" going. :)
You might, like I did, check out the online sources on this, from reports on a professor who was one of the drafters admitting it, to the official curriculum. It's enlightening.
I'm working a new product addition for my startup, here's an example of what job postings will look like. We're marketed as a "dating site for companies and people", we help people get their dream jobs and help companies grow in the best way possible.
This is great work, looking forward to your write-up!
