First half of the interview at CodeNextDoor: ruclips.net/video/lG1GlHOHWok/видео.html - Thanks much to Louis for the interview and to Andre & Chris for collaborating!
I've never had an opportunity to work with Gleam or BEAM-based languages, but I really like the way Louis thinks about design. Things like: (1) the path of least resistance should lead the user to do the right thing and get to the right place (2) the idea of intentionally having friction in parts of the language that should be used with care (like macros) (3) that the Language Server is such an integral part of the language as to be considered part of the core team's work
I feel like these tenets are key to lots of successful languages, and the reason why I dislike languages like C++, which pretty much does the opposite.
I heard about erlang from a presentation, and now I'm looking around for ANYBODY actually coding anything in it and I can't just theres no one coding this stuff that people are singing praises about. Is that weird to find that suspicious?
Elixir has more attention than Erlang in recent years, though both do still get used. Here's the link to recently starred Elixir repos on GitHub if you might find that interesting. github.com/trending/elixir?since=daily Also Elixir repos with the most stars overall. github.com/topics/elixir?l=elixir
That’s because you’re looking in the open-source community. Erlang is mainly used in the telecommunications industry and is, therefore, mostly closed-source.
what kinda annoys me he spends more time trying to get good boy points doing surveys asking about gender instead of getting the hands down into code and being hardcore into it. His project is great anyways, but could be have way less frills with identity/political related content.
The guy is also a massive weirdo, he’s one of those self proclaimed communists and deep into feminism/lgbtqa+. Despite that being a massive turn off I looked at the language and it’s also pretty mid, there is almost nothing in the stdlib and the guy expects you to import everything from packages. Once Elixir has its type system this language has 0 reasons to exist. Imo I don’t recommend anyone wasting their time with it.

Amazing interview!!!
What about something like Lean 4 racket-style macro's?

Erlang = Ericsson Language. The Swedish telecom company is the largest user of it.
@@verified_tinker1818WhatsApp and Discord uses Erlang aswell

why does someone else's efforts annoy you when they have no effect on you lol
@@jpbastyr because no one really cares about virtue signalling
@@jpbastyrBecause it demonstrates a problem with priorities, or indicates a level of narcissism that is off-putting.
Its much preferable to whatever the fuck is happening in Nim's community.
@@tauiin explain
Gleam’s website is so full of work garbage that I lost all interest in touching it.
The WOKELETS are trying to make my TYPE SYSTEM QUEER!!!!!
thank you and please stay far away ❤
What do you mean ?
