crystal VS Elixir

Did you ever see Crystal? It's more or less a typed Ruby. I've heard that you can port some code directly.

If you like the Ruby syntax (but want a statically typed language), you might want to take a look at Crystal: https://crystal-lang.org/

> Crystal is statically typed and type errors are caught early by the compiler, eliminating a range of type-related errors at runtime.

I really enjoyed using Crystal last year. It is a very ergonomic language with a featureful standard library. I was tempted to use it again this year, but I figured I should use this opportunity to try something new. After considering several languages including Go, F#, Nim, and Raku, I decided to go with Gleam.

Dir module works fine, though maybe the docs could be improved. https://crystal-lang.org/api/1.13.3/Dir.html . The stdlib code is also highly readable: https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/blob/d14d04562/src/d... shows that #each_child just calls #read and yields it to the block, so I don't think this is really a wart :)

Elixir is an open source project created by José Valim. Its source code is publicly available in the elixir-lang/elixir repository on GitHub.

Invisible Threads is built with Elixir, Phoenix, and most importantly, Postmark. Data lives on disk instead of a traditional database to keep the demo light. Authentication uses Postmark API tokens, mapping each application user directly to a Postmark server. The whole thing is deployed to Fly.io. A minimal setup let me focus on Postmark's offerings.

While reading the Elixir documentation and exploring its ecosystem, I found an opportunity to improve the documentation about an important anti-pattern - non-assertive map access. This article shares my experience submitting PR #14501 and the valuable lessons I learned about effective documentation through collaboration with Elixir's core team.

Elixir runs on the Erlang VM, known for creating low latency, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems. Elixir Docs

This guide will walk you through creating a basic REST API using Elixir and Phoenix Framework with thorough comments explaining each piece of code.

Recently, I discovered a programming language called Elixir. Elixir is described as a dynamic, functional language for building scalable and maintainable applications.

The first time I saw and used something similar was using doctests in Elixir 3 years ago, but cram tests are much more versatile. In dune, you can use whichever executable binary. You can make your documentation executable. How cool is that!?
