  • Show HN: Pip Imports in Deno

    An alternative is metacall. The example in the readme is about calling Python from Javascript, but it also works with other languages, like Ruby, C#, Java, and other languages

    https://github.com/metacall/core

    List of supported languages here https://github.com/metacall/core/blob/develop/docs/README.md...

    In the future, maybe webidl (or extensions of it) will bring interoperability between languages too. At the moment there is https://mozilla.github.io/uniffi-rs/ for interoperability between Rust and a number of languages (basically the ones mozilla needs: Swift, Kotlin, Javascript)

    Hi, I am writing a Polyglot Runtime called MetaCall, it provides interoperability between many different languages: https://github.com/metacall/core
  • Closer look at Metacall
    1 project | dev.to | 19 Oct 2022
    MetaCall is an extensible, embeddable and interoperable cross-platform polyglot runtime. It supports NodeJS, Vanilla JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Ruby, C#, Java, WASM, Go, C, C++, Rust, D, Cobol.

    I started looking for past selected organizations in February, found an organization named Metacall, which made polyglot programming easy. I made some contributions there. I looked into their past projects and tried to understand how the code base worked. The tech stack was mainly Python, C++, Rust, Nodejs, Docker. I knew very little about these.

    MetaCall helps you build serverless applications using a more fine-grained, scalable and NoOps oriented Function Mesh instead of ServiceMesh and DevOps approach. It automagically converts your code into a Function Mesh and auto-scales individual hot parts or functions of your app.

    20 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 12 Oct 2021
    I try to avoid any complicated tool and simplify my life with NoOps tools. Using Kubernetes or AWS from scratch is probably going to kill your startup.

    In my case, I have tried MetaCall: https://metacall.io

  • Idempotent seeds in Elixir
    2 projects | dev.to | 14 Mar 2024
    A standard Phoenix app contains a priv/repo/seeds.exs script file, which populates a database when it is run, so that developers can work with a conveniently prepared environment.

    There was one in the Phoenix Framework (Elixir) about issuing certificates with an invalid end date: https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix/issues/5737

    Interestingly, Azure had this bug some years ago too leading to an outage. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/summary-of-windows-az...

  • Building Apps with Tauri and Elixir
    14 projects | dev.to | 19 Oct 2023
    Thus, we set out to build a desktop application using a LiveView from the Phoenix Framework in Elixir. For the uninitiated, a LiveView is a process that receives events, updates its state, and renders updates to a page as diffs. The LiveView programming model is declarative: instead of saying “once event X happens, change Y on the page”, events in LiveView are regular messages which may cause changes to its state.
  • Has anybody compared Phoenix Framwork vs. Blazor?
    1 project | /r/Blazor | 11 Oct 2023
    It seems though like Phoenix is similar like Blazor Server (using web socket), but Phoenix is: SEO friendly (first render is plain html) Light weight, scales well and concurrency is first class Easy to develop (runs a local server so you see live updates) Compiled With auth out of the box https://www.phoenixframework.org/
  • Ask HN: Why isn't Phoenix/Elixir more mainstream?
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Sep 2023
    Sorry to hear this. Phoenix v1.7 changed how it structures files in disk and that broke quite some of the getting started material. However, the guides are always kept up to date, so you can give it a try: https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/overview.html

    You can also see the resources on this page listed by year: https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix/blob/main/guides... - the recent launched ones are most likely up to date.

    Yes! I love Elixir :) [Phoenix LiveView](https://www.phoenixframework.org/) is really amazing. I feel so fast working in it. I got hooked after watching Chris McCord's ['Build a real-time Twitter clone in 15 minutes'](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZvmYaFkNJI&embeds_referring...), and things have improved a lot since then.
  • Ask HN: What's the best modern back end?
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 28 Aug 2023
    I still work on a lot of Java projects. As of JDK 17 Java has most of "ML the good parts" and has the same scalable, reliable and high-performance threading Java is famous for. JAX-RS provides a Sinatra style framework that makes it easy to write JSON API back ends. JDK 21 is just about to come out as a long term supported version and it will be even better.

    I do my side projects in Python with aiohttp and think it is a lot of fun even though people tell me it is suicide (I guess if you block the thread you are in trouble)

    I think "Next.js" really wants a node.js backend which has the big advantage that you can share code with the front end and back end. It's basically single-threaded but I know people who are happy with it.

    The system I'd most like to try is

    https://www.phoenixframework.org/

    which is just great if you want to do stuff with websockets that is more interactive than what most people are doing.
