I feel so old.... already Golang and Rust were kind of beyond me. Wasn't interested in investing huge amounts of time to really understand them. My colleagues took 1 year to get decent in Golang.
And now here is this Elixer thing... goddamn !

masterofballs@wolfballs.com 2 years agoI have no idea. Its a super functional language. With a VM like Java. messaging like golang. Things compile to byte code. Its kind of high level language so I dont think other languages can compile to it. Not like typescript -> Javascript

Golang shouldn't take long to learn it's a small language. I don't think elixer will ever have near golang market share

question: there's a "transcompiler" that translates elixir to javascript called elixirscript, could you translate it to javascript and then just code in javascript? and then updates (upstream is it called?) you could just keep translating as you add them from the main project
of course I guess it depends on how well the "transcompilier" works which may require some knowledge of both languages to check it

No I don't think that will server for server code.
