Honestly, most of them were great. Probably the most captivating one was Ben Tyler's fun exercise in using Riak Core to build a stateful, distributed, fault-tolerant, real-time, impress your cat application. Chris McCord's keynote

I agree. Setting up mirrors would probably be a better fit for this kind of content, but mirrors would be susceptible to the same dangers that the primary website may face: forced take-down by the hosting provider, domain blocking, etc. The

Elixir has first-class support for defining custom types and adding type annotations (specs) to functions. There's also a tool that makes it very easy to run dialyzer on your code: https://github.com/fishcakez/dial

JavaScript has functions. The list pretty much ends there. There are some libraries that provide "functional features" like functions over collections, persistent data structures, promises. The language itself and the environment

Erlang/OTP is being developed continuously, primarily by a team at Ericsson. They ship one new major release roughly once per year, with a few minor releases in-between.

Just a small note: Go has also abandoned segmented stacks. They were a placeholder until Go got precise GC which enabled it to use contiguous stacks with pointer rewriting. Here's a good explanation of this – http://agis.io&

Instead of the animation speed setting it should have a slider (like, for instance, here http://debug.elm-lang.org/edit/Mario.elm ). Otherwise, it's more like a nice animation than a learning tool.

Erlang knowledge is not a requirement to start learning Elixir. You will end up learning about Erlang programming model anyway because Elixir builds on top of it. By "programming model" I mean things like immutability, concurrency

This list says little about Rails' productivity benefits without also stating how much is hidden behind it (in terms of queues, caches, async workers, etc.) to let those services handle their job.

I realize now it sounds as if Erlang got something wrong and Elixir got it right instead. That's not what I wanted to say. Elixir semantics is very close to Erlang's, but it also has things beyond what Erlang can offer as easily:

> We should avoid making Elixir a Ruby-on-Erlang when it has the potential to be so much more. Elixir is fool-proof from turning it into a "Ruby on Erlang" simply because it embraces and improves on Erlang's programming mo

'wc -l' counts the number of lines. It also supports '-c' and '-b'. To work with input split into columns, use awk. By default, it assumes the columns are separated with spaces. This can be customized with the

The differences are more than just in syntax. Elixir is also a standard lib that many enjoy, out-of-the box tooling (even Erlang folks have praised mix, the project manager for Elixir), meta-programming. For example, this code generates a b

I don't understand what you are asking here. The example at the beginning of the "Distribution" section shows how to get the value from the door in room1 while running on the node corresponding to room2. The same way you can

"Some concurrency" and Erlang-style concurrency are a thousand miles apart. Read this www.erlang.org/download/armstrong_thesis_2003.pdf. No matter which language you are using, this will help you expand your perspective

Saying it is bounded by O(n²) is too vague, because it's the same as being bounded by O(n³) and so on. A linear algorithm is also O(n²) and O(n³). That is why I emphasized that the worst case in particular has its bound within a consta

It is worth pointing out here that Quicksort has complexity of Ɵ(n²) in the worst case. Yet it has worked out as the best one in practice in many applications.

You don't need ad-hoc polymorphism to implement polymorphic operators. Haskell does that with type classes that provide parametric polymorphism.
