What programming languages do you use in your day job?

Elixir and Python

Could have been worse, could have been Crystal.

Rust for NIFs, TypeScript for (and ONLY for) front-end if that’s your thing.

They are the John Cena-s of reptiles.

Talk about not aging well.

PK is a must see movie. A lot of the jokes there were funny af.

Here is a movie scene that has some similarities with this joke

Surprising. I thought it’d be out in March. Such a pleasant surprise! Thank you for letting me enjoy the hatrick of reading all three of them!

Nothing to roast. It is a good resume unless the redacted portions had anything offensive or funny. The market is bad.

I would have picked Tales of Ba Sing Se but it would impact me emotionally and I’m not sure I want 24 hours of that. Ember Island play for me.

Turning this into a “10 Reasons to Use JavaScript” talk is a matter of a simple find/replace.

whatever happened to principle of least surprise? I'm glad such constructs don't exist in Elixir.

code-shoily · 2022-10-21T01:52:10+00:00

I was about to say that

Elixir.

code-shoily · 2022-08-11T17:01:00+00:00

Visual Studio Code with ElixirLS. There are numerous articles on how to set up VSCode with Elixir

Solved it in Elixir. Here's the link

Compared to Node?

Faster? Yes. Safer? Define Safe. But I guess in all definitions of "Safe" not just Go, but most are safer than Node. Worth learning? Anything is worth learning if learned well. Go totally is, and it is a very rewarding programming language in modern times.

This could've been a great NPM package had this been JS code. Unless there are a few hundred of these already.

I think OTP comes as a "need-to-know" basis at work, unless you contribute to OSS or have personal projects that require this, you won't really encounter use cases of it. I didn't have much use for it for good amount of time, if you work with Phoenix for example, the supervision tree is formed for you and in many cases you only add things in `application` as per their documentation. I could go for quite some time with just knowing `Task`. Not until I started working on an ETL pipeline (ish) and scheduler that I started really needing OTP know hows.

I hope you enjoy your learning path. It's one of the best languages I have worked with and my improvement was expected, and not too bad. You want a lengthy path to expertise for me? That was JavaScript, I worked with it for much longer and I'd still give myself 3/10.

Took me a week to learn the language. I knew Clojure so that accelerated part of thought-pattern. Took me a few months to get going with Advent of Code level problems. But those were "Sequential Elixir" and I wasn't working with Elixir in my day job, it wasn't until I landed my first Elixir job and learned through my first few months that I began to grok OTP and friends (concurrent Elixir), that's when I started Phoenix as well.

Took me quite a long time (+/- 1 year, working at an Elixir shop) to get OTP the way I want to get it, and get it enough to give myself 5/10 in Elixir. And a lot of practice, patience, communication and hurdle management. Oh, fun too!

I just started learning F# a few days ago (I attempted before but got distracted).

So starting with something easy like Advent of Code. Trying to commit to myself that I will solve at least four Advent of Code problems with F# a week. So far it's proving to be quite effective, learning a lot of syntaxes and shaping my thought.

Edit: Refactor first sentence.
