I can recommend: Atom with https://github.com/msaraiva/atom-elixir

I use phoenix and elixir, I agree with the statement that Elixir is awesome. But don't drink too much cool-aid - Elixir might be dangerous as well.

It is essentially a big pile of macros, so sometimes number of keywords that you have to keep in your head is staggering. Also, Elixir is a pretty big language - I knew Erlang before diving into it - so the barrier and number of concepts that you have to get familiar with is huge. Don't get me wrong - all these concepts/design patterns are necessary (I am thinking about BEAM and OTP here). Erlang (and therefore Elixir) is complete as development environment, that's where the amount of knowledge is coming from.

Cool intro to erlang/BEAM: http://www.slideshare.net/BrianTroutwine1/erlang-lfe-elixir-...

I wish docker released lite version of docker. Only containerisation, no networking configurations, weird cache mechanisms - just something small and easy to use locally.

No one sane will run docker on prod anyway.

I don't know much about Scala but Erlang/Elixir fits quite good to the description as well:

> Scala is the programming language I use for tasks like writing web servers or IRC clients.

I'd like to see this valuation - this transaction looks shaky at best.

One chapter per 10% growth of the company.

Product always goes first.

How did you implement scoring system? Is it simple: select max(score) from casts where submit_time > NOW - 7days; or something more sophisticated https://medium.com/hacking-and-gonzo/how-hacker-news-ranking... ?

There is, but printing money and giving it to investors creates inflation in assets that can be bought by them. Once money flows throught credit/banks to the entire market (already happening) you have price raises in pretty much everything. Stuff you buy on credit (education, housing, cars, consumer goods etc.) are getting more expensive as well. Does it matter? For people with savings in currency - yes (middle class?). People without savings can fight for raises as unions and rich people hedge against dollar already.

If everything is overvalued, nothing really is. To me, it is not a bubble but inflation.

To me the power of Erlang comes from a combination of powerful VM and OTP. In the era of hype for SOA, OTP

You can run multiple apps on the same VM and they will run concurrently and communicate with each other using protocols that are core of the language.

I agree, erlang seems weird at first, simply because there is not anything like it. It also solved todays problems with software a decade ago.

Or how much energy is used to perform single google query.

I love that kind of stories: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-21043693

Capitalism! :)

i'll finally get rid of docker-machine, THANK YOU DOCKER.

I agree, but who spins up 32 cores for postgresql instance which is up 24/7?

I know ec2 people find it extraordinary having 32 cores, but on ovh you can get machine with 20c and 40 hyper threads and 256 GB of RAM for less than 350$ a month.

New iPhone compared to a model from 2013, apple you can do better than that. It is going be 4inch, but how thin? Same as 6s, don't think so...

It has been a while since I've seen so many buzzwords in one HN topic.

Looks pretty cool, but doing RPC over RMQ is quite expensive. I would rather see good abstractions over ZMQ - that would be really cool.

Also as many people here pointed out, RMQ is a single point of failure which might be acceptable for some cases. To me, the problem is that by design this architecture has a bottleneck which is really hard to get rid off.

Why agents here a so heavy? I mean, why entire cluster cannot handle more than 256 agent concurrently?

Please check the function I am referring to.

Also, yes, I think concurrency model in node.js is the worst possible one.

But why? Why would you create a web framework in a single-thread environment? This line of code: https://github.com/tannernelson/vapor/blob/master/Sources/Se... - makes this framework totally useless.

Learn different things - I recently started my side project in a bunch new technologies to myself like

* swift2 (iOS)

* elixir, phoenix framework, ecto (not that new to me, but I've never shipped anything to prod with it)

* elm - javascript replacement

Everything that is completely different from your current "stack" will give a new perspective... JS dev? Try elm, look a pure functional languages.

Number of immigrants going back to the middle east in this article is funny at best. Author gives few thousands here and there, but he doesn't give overall number - which seems to be around 10 000. And for a 1 000 000 migrants that are in Europe and another 1 000 000 incoming this is nothing - marginal case fitting into statistic error.

I am just sitting here, watching elm organically growing, while people creating "new" react-flux-redux-ember-angular-dojo-backbone frameworks every day.

I meant to troll, sorry.

I am no a JavaScript expert - I started playing with frontend (jQuery doesn't count) only recently. The only problem I have with your approach is that the model might mutate. For small projects it is ok - but for larger ones overriding state from many places generates pesky race conditions that are source of all evil. I am not advocating for react as well - to me it is just a view layer. Combining it with redux, flux or any other library concept makes everything complex. And add javascript build tools on the top of that (good javascript sucks). As a mostly "backend" developer (python, erlang, elixir) I really started to like ELM (http://elm-lang.org/docs#complete-guide) which solves all the problems as a language.

1. Language forces you to model-view-controller style

2. Language makes the model immutable

3. Language forces you to use correct types which saves a lot of trouble.

On the other hand, I a new to frontend - so I might be wrong.

If the creator didn't find the idea interesting enough to actually put the project into life, it will be probably better to come up with your own project. Of course it has nothing to do with being inspired by someone else.

I don't mean to troll, but having ideas is nothing. Of course projects start with ideas but if the creator of the idea didn't pursue given concept - neither should you.

I used Ubigraph for erlang to visualize process linking in BEAM. http://eddwardo.github.io/elixir/links/2015/11/04/links-in-e...

As far as I know, bandwidth in US is usually lower than in Europe.

It might look like this because new line in facebook chat is "shift+enter", I believe only a few percent of facebook users know that shortcut. So if you want to create a longer message on facebook than "sup? wanna hangout?" you probably will compose a few messages and treat them as one.
