@Letmecode yeah I know it, it is amazing and I really miss that in other languages (even languages with pattern matching features like Scala and Elm). The way elixir/erlang do it is pretty straightforward.

Who teases php developers will always have my respect and support.

If you are from Brazil you could put "Whore" and everyone would understand you are a software developer.
We are really underpaid in this fucking idiot country.

UPDATE: Actually I think there are more well paid wholes here than IT people. Lol

If you use Chrome, RAM never will be enough.

@plusgut it depends on what you are building, in some cases neither any SQL database default configuration will help you out very much.
You should take a look on MongoDB's newest version, there is no silver bullets of course.
Futhermore You can't read two or three blog postings and make it an universal truth. Hack, rebuild, hack again, put something on production... Then you talk.

Any production thoughts about NewSQL? Someone?

@plusgut you should take a look on StackShare and see a lot of companies that just have a different mindset ;)

@plusgut if you follow their documentation and best practices you will not screw up man.

React Native :)

If I was going to choose a SQL database I would take Postgresql or Mariadb
Why?
MySQL is Oracle property right now, none is sure what will be its future, furthermore Oracle is very known to throw shit on the software community face all the fucking time.

I've chosen MongoDB over SQL in any project you would take SQL instead cause their performance is pretty similar and I prefer to have a database more developer friendly.
All my experiences trying to learn SQL deeply was marked by a big frustration.

Nothing. Go have sex.

I'll take die() for sure.

Furthermore, rewrite a software in another technology is not a big problem.
A Thousand of companies started using a technology and did a rewrite after for many reasons... It is not the end of the world. Tech evolves quickly, if you don't change you simply disappear.

@CrankyOldDev the customer wants to move his news website to a new ui and implement a bunch of new features.
The actual solution is a big ball of mud. There is no tests, no well defined architecture, etc etc... Every change breaks something else... I'm the 3th developer hired to put order in this house, the last two one were supposed to be "wordpress experts" but a lot of bad things like this have been happening all the time..
Well, it is "already working"... I don't think so.

Did you mean Scala for Android developers?

@Deserter it is like macOS and material design had a baby.

Wait wait wait...
Light, Depth, Motion... Isn't it material design?

Both languages are great.
Python is faster than Ruby btw.
I think that anything is faster than Ruby lol
Ruby has a better developer experience IMHO.
BTW I would recommend you give a try for Elixir. It's about 5 years old now, it has a vibrant community behind it and it was created by a Rails core team member based on his frustrations related to ruby performance. Elixir has a syntax very similar Ruby with some super powers but it runs on top of BEAM, which is very well tested VM well known by give life for Erlang programming language... that means it is compatible with any library written in erlang (for sake of curiosity, erlang is 31 years old and it has been used to build massive scalable systems since its early days)

Sorry for my bad english.
Best Regards.

I used to have this same hate about JS.
I started using the ecmascript 5 version in 2012... That was really awful!

I only changed my mind about js after es6. Not only cause it has classes now, but with all FP improvements made that sweet... The bad part is that es5 still exists under es6 and it's very hard to educate new developers to not use some of its bad features.

I've been very excited about Elm. It isn't so popular but the compiler is sweet cause it gives you good feedbacks about what is the error and how you can fix it without have to figure it out on google , furthermore the developer experience is fantastic at all. Elm applications architecture influenced a lot on to what Redux is today (you are a react developer, you probably have heard about it).

Typescript and Dart can be good, but IMHO it is about the same shit only with a type system. Dart looks like Java, it is even worse.

I did the same almost 1 year ago and I'm happier now. No regrets.
Good luck man!

@Letmecode the elixir sticker got hidden by the cup :(

@donoskaro yes, it is :P

@TRGWII I agree. I have written code in a lot of programming languages, and the only one I keep complaining furiously about is PHP.

So back to your PHP and go to see a psychologist.

@deity so change your customer lol

Try Elixir/Phoenix
