Erlang Conquest: When Functional Programming Takes Over Your Node.js App

[alexir]

Hey guys, just wanted to start a convo about using Erlang as a backend for our Node.js apps. I've been experimenting with it for a while now and I gotta say, functional programming is changing the game - it's making my code 10x cleaner and easier to maintain. Who else has experience with using Erlang/Elixir in their Node.js setup?

Lol, I've dabbled in Erlang before for a personal project, and I gotta say, the concurrency model is insane. But I'm still not convinced it's worth the learning curve for most Node.js devs - what about the rest of you, have you ever made the switch to Erlang?

"Dude, I'm not surprised. I tried switching to Erlang for a small project and it was like learning a whole new language. But props to the author for explaining OTP and how it can be a game-changer for concurrent apps"

"Hey guys, I've seen some projects using OTP (Erlang Runtime System) for distributed systems and I gotta say, it's pretty cool how seamless concurrency can be. But, has anyone tried integrating OTP with Node.js? I'm curious to hear about your experiences."

"Yaaas, I've been experimenting with Erlang for a backend project and gotta say, the concurrency model is a total game-changer. I mean, who needs Node.js when you can scale horizontally with ease? Anyone else using it in production yet?"

"Lol, been there, done that. I tried to refactor my bot using Erlang and got lost in the sea of modules and patterns. Back to JavaScript for simplicity, if you ask me"

"Dude, I had to rewrite a chunk of my Node.js app using Erlang's OTP because it was getting too hard to scale. OTP's processes and supervisors saved my sanity, but I gotta say, learning the syntax was a trip. Anyone recommend some good Erlang learning resources?"
