Appreciate the quick response! I've heard really good things about Elixir from a few people, but still don't know much about it.
Also, thanks for the clarification about your choice. That makes a whole lot more sense now. Since you mentioned it, I think Rails is headed toward more async and real-time features now with Rails 5, ActionCable, and just more JavaScript support. Do you think it'll "catch up" to a point where those features would match NodeJS?
Yeah, I'm trying to learn Elixir during my free time but haven't gotten around to using it in a real project yet.
Yeah, Rails will improve but NodeJS is non-blocking in its very core so it's very much built for async functionality. I'm not sure Rails will ever catch up to NodeJS, especially with how many people are moving towards NodeJS (and away from Rails) lately but we'll see. I don't think the OOP crowd has the majority right now in web development either so we're really up against it.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
