ughhh, what should I write my thing in? 😛
I kind of just want to go with Elixir/Pheonix, but I barely know the language. I know Ruby fairly well, but have sworn off of Rails entirely. I like Python, but always feel conflicted about that split in the ecosystem.
@dansup I'm thinking of calling my app #postmodern.
I've been turning this around in my head for the last six months or so. It's...similar to Plume, but as I've thought about the concept, I think it could be different in a number of ways.

@deadsuperhero Cool! Maybe I will hold off on joining medium and wait until thats ready.
@dansup Fair warning, I tend to have long spells of laziness due to dozens of conflicting interests. 😛
@deadsuperhero @dansup you can still post a "teaser" on medium with a "continue reading on Plume" link after the first few paragraphs 😋

@deadsuperhero elixir is nothing like ruby, the only thing that is similliar is "end" and keywords syntax (which really came from lisp). It really is mostly erlang
@deadsuperhero my friend likes using Sinatra for Ruby instead of Rails, if that sounds interesting
@Alamantus
Old blue eyes?
@deadsuperhero I hear wonderful things about Elixir and Phoenix (both too damn hard to spell, though…). They make up a growing portion of System76 infrastructure handling business logic and API server duties. The front-end is a Node/Vue.js app. It seems to work really well!
@deadsuperhero What split are you referring to? 2 vs. 3?
@pybyte Yes, that one.
@deadsuperhero 3 is in a much more comfortable position than it was several years ago. The reactionary clinging on to 2 has largely died down.
@deadsuperhero But I think you should do Elixir, since it looks cool and it would be a good opportunity to learn it.
@deadsuperhero There is no Python split, Only 3. Anyone stuck in 2.x at this point is the sort that still claims the superiority of COBOL or VB6. Speaking of which, for your project, have you consider COBOL on Cogs or VB6 on Vibrating Barrels?
@deadsuperhero What are you working on? 👀
