Angry Sun (sun@shitposter.world)'s status on Friday, 31-May-2024 08:46:15 JST Angry Sun @maija It's rough-going and I'm super slow at it but the utility is very high and for most future projects I only want to do them in Elixir now.
I like TypeScript but the limitations of it are too great for things I'm working on now. I need to do a lot of concurrent work and that's a nightmare in JavaScript because you basically can only run a script in a worker/process, no finer-grained primitives. -

Maija (SPW Arc) (maija@shitposter.world)'s status on Friday, 31-May-2024 08:46:16 JST Maija (SPW Arc) @sun how are you enjoying elixir? i've been meaning to learn it but i didn't really have the project i used to do in erlang anymore. i really appreciate the stuff conceptually but erlang was rather inconvenient to me in practice. that might just be a library issue though -

Angry Sun (sun@shitposter.world)'s status on Friday, 31-May-2024 08:55:31 JST Angry Sun @maija Elixir doesn't help me reason better, it makes things possible that weren't possible in JS. Spawning processes in JS is costly and clumsy but in Elixir it is cheap and easy to launch an async process in the middle of whatever you're doing. iced depresso likes this. -

Maija (SPW Arc) (maija@shitposter.world)'s status on Friday, 31-May-2024 08:55:32 JST Maija (SPW Arc) @sun mmm yeah fair enough understandable. I feel like for me personally distributing workloads isnt the most confusing task for me? like I don't need such structures to distribute things for concurrency it's pretty clear in my mind how such structures are. but yeah its certainly an improvement over typescripts for sure. -

everyone always focuses on the convenience of syntax and such but im more allured by system of lightweight processes in erlang vmAngry Sun likes this. -
