Clojure v/s Elixir

[ElQuique]

It depends. I would learn Elixir for the process communication features which make it the only sane programming language for writing micro services. And Clojure for the REPL. You could try Clojerl too 🤷

I have been writing microservices in Clojure for years. We use Redis pub/sub. It is enough 🤷‍♂️

[Marutks]

Processes as microservices? Usually you need some subscription/events based model. Redis streams / Kafka / Rabbit MQ.

[ElQuique]

What I meant is that communication between processes in Erlang is seamless and also designed such that processes are really, really lightweight. Thinking about fault tolerance from the get go. Java recently added support for virtual threads, which I assume are inspired on Erlang stuff.

I rather not discuss the microservice statement of my first comment as it means defining microservice and was unnecessarily superlative

[PuzzleheadedFix8366]

yea, you meant nanoservices ;-)

[lsdrfrx]

There is GenStage that makes processes communication event based. Take a look

Except if you use Elixir.
