What Hacker News says?
Erlang is as parallel as it gets. Async message passing actor model. The runtime will distributed the processes (actors) over the available CPUs. See: https://www.culttt.com/2016/07/27/understanding-concurrency-...

HN discussionPerspective: "Blogger was a success and quickly gained traction. But unlike their enterprise product, Blogger had no way of making money. Pyra Labs eventually had to lay off all of their staff as the money ran out. For a year, Ev worked on Blogger by himself in order to keep the site online. After a year of struggling to keep the site afloat, Blogger eventually started to make some money. Google would eventually mak…

HN discussionGood question! To which I respond with another question: Why not both? ;) Actual example code from my current project (with the actual object type anonymized by renaming it to "thing"): const result = await prisma.thingInstance.findMany({ where: { thingTypeId: { in: thingTypes.map((id) => id.childThingTypeId), }, thingInstanceChildren: { none: { parentThingId: { equals: args.parentThingId, }, }, }, }, orderBy: { thi…

HN discussionMy first thought when I read this was that it sounds like you're struggling against the language because you're trying to use it in an imperative fashion. I'm well aware this may not be correct but it's what I'm going to assume for the rest of this comment, so please forgive me if it's incorrect. Elixir is a functional language, and while it's not pure, nested if statements deliberately do not belong. The if stateme…

HN discussionI'm the OP of this thread. I add the example of Ruby's modules, that can be included in other modules and eventually classes. Combined with dynamic typing they provide a way to import very generic functions, even if they end up being methods (everything is an object in Ruby.) Erlang and Elixir are a kind of trade off between functional and OO languages. Formally they are fully functional but their processes (a first…

HN discussionI object to the use of the term "inheritance" here. It's a bit more like PHP's traits - https://secure.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.traits.php Ruby's mixins are a bit similar as well - http://culttt.com/2015/07/08/working-with-mixins-in-ruby/ Think of it as language-assisted copy paste.
