I think I saw an article (not based on this study, and I'm not sure based on anything) that claimed a different language to be the same ‘best for AI’

I expect we may see more, and each time we may come up with some explanation of why, of course. Still maybe I should learn Elixir, it sounds decent

Oh it's a great language, I honestly haven't met anyone who started writing Elixir and didn't end up loving it. If you have the time I definitely recommend it.

@revolutionaryvole @sukhmel Yes, loving it. But can't use it in the job 😭

[–] revolutionaryvole@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's still a rare opportunity unfortunately, I count myself as extremely lucky to have used it in a previous job!

What did you use it for?

[–] revolutionaryvole@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Our entire backend was Elixir-based.

Phoenix webserver providing an API service for our clients
ETL pipelines using Broadway to ingest clients' data
processing of the data entirely within the BEAM, mostly native Elixir but with some small parts using other languages through NIFs for performance or compatibility reasons

There were a lot more components involved but I don't want to go into too much detail. It was a real joy to work with though, and I'll definitely choose Elixir for any future projects unless there are specific reasons requiring something else.

Thanks for the insight. I've started learning Elixir some months ago and while it is a little difficult to get into for me I can see that once you know the basics it can be very powerful. However I'm not a programmer so I'll probably only use it for hobby projects.

@revolutionaryvole @eta I want to have the same experiences on every work day 😭
