Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView
- pros: Phoenix / LiveView would scale very well data/app wise. Fast. Elixir language is at this point set with little to no breaking changes.
- cons: Elixir is harder to write at scale. Functional paradigm is sanitary but at a cost of flexibility. Phoenix/LiveView constantly introduce breaking changes. A fraction of Phoenix devs will know LiveView (but can pick it up quick).
As a dev who constantly switches out fonts / themes & also pays for them, a few things to note:
- I mainly test for clarity, how HD something is on my IDE from 12 to 16px. I paid for Monolisa (which I like a lot) but other open source fonts actually have higher fidelity(Luculent, Fairfax HD, Hermit, Agave) - this gives me pause on purchase of license.
- No ligatures isn’t a deal breaker, but many open source fonts have them Day 1 & are implementing them well. My work place has lambdas & operators all over code base - some fonts make it easier to parse around.
- Price is not bad overall, as I feel paid fonts are Quality of Life coder tools, like mechanical keyboards (pro surfers don’t use surfboards from Walmart).
- Summary is that I’m on the verge to take the plunge but really need a day or 2 in the trenches with it to see how I flow with it. Trial version should exist like others say. Similarities to JetBrains Mono are there even if unintentionally so.
- I support indie mono fonts, keep iterating!
