for backend...

for frontend Elm.

>tfw you use Elm forfrontend while hipsters use Js + React + Redux to do what you can with just the bare language.

>>60569537
so basically you're using yet another JS framework?

We are the hipsters when you are using this literally-who language?

>>60569079
Javascript on the server, Javascript for the client. Mainly because there isn't any other (non-obscure) language that can handle asynchronicity so well.

>>60569079
Dlang + Vibe is the best.

I really like elixir but I'm not much of a webdev kind of guy

Elm is not a framework, it's a functional language that compiles to Javascript.

It might be a literally-who lang today, but in a few year when everything is a hybrid app built with React and people realize they have millions of lines of turd code that nobody understand people will look at Elm.

It's great. I would use it for something bigger that a weekend project but now that Spring has officially picked up Kotlin I have even less reasons not to use it.

>>60569537
Elm is also my second choice, but I currently prefer React+Mobx. Also I hate the HTML syntax.

>>60569537
do you need to know any javascript to use elm or does it just compile to javascript?

My brother is giving me a partition of his server so I will have something to fuck around with; I wanted to make a shitty webpage and possibly a meme repository

>>60569079
If it's so great why is it so dead? Why did it never arrive?

>>60571381
in theory you don't need to know Javascript to learn Elm.

But in practice everyone assumes you know JS and you might need to use Javascript libraries in your Elm programs

Should I learn Erlang before learning Elixir?
Any suggestions regarding the learning material would be greatly appreciated!

Been meaning to learn both Elixir and Phoenix for a while. Used to do Rails back in the day, and while it had its issues, it was structured and somewhat sane which made it like a glass of water in the hell of the mud-spaghetti PHP codebases which were dominant at the time.

Only reason I haven't started is the time investment of picking up a new ecosystem and getting back into web platform stuff (currently do native mobile). If I could just quit my job for a few months to learn Elixir and get up to date with the current state of the web I totally would.

On the front end side I'd probably keep JS to a minimum and use intercooler.js. Elm seems neat but I'd want to keep my toolchain as small as humanly possible… this shit with babel webpack gulp whateverthefuck is insane. Whatever happened to hitting Ctrl-s/Cmd-S/:w in your text editor and being done?
