Do you seriously believe that this data is “the most relevant thing possible” to assert the claims “Elixir is past its peak” and “is all down hill from here”? I am not refuting the data, I am refuting the flawed…
I don't see how this is any better. Most traffic on SO comes from search engines and if the questions and answers are elsewhere, such as in the Elixir Forum, then search engines will lead devs away from SO. You say the…
That’s very little data to make such broad claims. Up until 2017 or so, you could see the Elixir community active on StackOverflow with answers from José, Chris and most maintainers. Then the community collectively…
> “Elixir is past it’s peak” I would really appreciate any data that backs this up. Or is this a personal observation written as if it was a consensus? Because if we are going by personal experiences, the community…
Is the CodeQL project itself open source? I would love to contribute support for Elixir.
It has many files because it brings in Erlang and its executables. Then Elixir and its executables. And then it adds some scripts to invoke those. It may make more sense if you think of releases more of a bundle, that…
I am well aware you know this but Elixir is a different paradigm than Ruby and Python. Approaching it like you could do everything as in Ruby or Python means you are unwilling to learn the functional aspects of the…
The issue is that there is a gap and if you won’t learn the language nor use it, the gap won’t ever be closed. For example, you said elsewhere a solution was complicated because it used io lists and a binary constructor…
Fun fact: dialyzer does not use your @spec’s to run checks. If you do provide a @spec, it will check that it matches, but it doesn’t affect dialyzer itself.
It really depends on what you mean by general purpose. At work we use Elixir for web and data ingestion, and I could have used Ruby for web but Ruby is considerably behind for data stuff. Elixir is fine for one-off…
