They mentioned that they wanted to port their compiler over to retain existing behavior (vs a re-write) and Rust has a hard time with their cyclic data structures.

Ditto, it feels like more people are coming around to the ML style type systems. I'm hoping Gleam will fill the void with a scalable BEAM backend and compiling to JS with Lustre on the frontend (or even just serverside with htmx).

I really rooting for the Riot framework. It's based on the actor model and makes using multi core in OCaml a breeze.

I think they were saying that Gleam was Go of functional programming? OCaml may be like Go compared to Haskell but IMHO Gleam really embraces simplicity and pragmatism.

The one thing that could really push it into "dream language" territory is a sound type system. The Gleam language recently popped up as an up and coming solution to that... It's ReasonML/Javascript like syntax makes it

Thanks for the article! I find it really surprising how difficult it is to deploy Elixir apps when it's so much more popular now and the Elixir team is so great at the developer experience.

It's very readable if you've used a typed language before. The <> brackets are like generics.

Apollo works fine with Meteor. It works like any other node module.

I agree, you can spend almost an entire years worth of office rent from the midwest and spend it in a month in Silicon Valley/SF. Sure some people may benefit from the high density of funding but if you're just working on product.

What about companies that need to save money? SV is extremely expensive compared to other parts of the country and SV is not a good value for everyone (also i'm assuming this is your post from the name)

Thanks, I was not aware of this :)

I'm honestly not sure. I was under the impression that it was limited... but thinking back perhaps I was thinking of the software that usually doesn't take advantage of multiple processes. Also half joking :D

What would be really interesting is Elixir-OS/Erlang-OS where the entire OS can take advantage of a 50 core CPU.

Not trying to troll but wouldn't it be easier to just use Elixir and Phoenix with OTP to run microservices for IoT? IoT typically will have long lived connections and Erlang was built on computers much smaller than raspberry pi's.

My company will be hiring soon and is using Elixir for backend services. Knowing Elixir is just a plus and any competent engineer can pick it up in a week. However, finding Elixir jobs is harder if you're the seeker... I agree.

author here, note 2 million concurrent users is in theory and based off of Phoenix's benchmarks. My use case calls for a much more modest 20-30k concurrent users which is out of scope for Meteor but well within Erlang's limits

You can use dialyzer to add type safety at compile time. It's not quite as good as Elm's compiler but it's much better than JS type checkers. http://learningelixir.joekain.com/elixir-type-safety/

I'm not a rubyist but it could be that their jaded with the current state of Ruby and constant performance struggles with Rails. Elixir has a similar community that's focused on testing, tooling, and quality. However I agree, very
