i switched from JS to Elixir. there are many benefits you can google yourself, but one thing i've realized for myself is that in regards to webapps LiveView is a real innovation. now PHP and others are copying what Elixir is doing, which is great, but it seems like Jose and others in the space are keeping Elixir on the frontline of innovation for a long time still. time and time again (like with the ML stuff) it amazes me how much Elixir is actually inventing new stuff and thinking outside of the "just a language" box. i almost quit programming honestly, because i just couldn't take the needless complexity of everyday life and Elixir saved my career. now i get shit done.
Devs don't teach programming in schools, because of small salary and loads of stress. Students don't seek programming, because it seems hard and boring.
Tinkr is bringing programming to schools. We offer any school teacher (physics for example) an opportunity to teach programming in their school. Training, materials, live coding environment, lessons and a professional coder helping in the background - everything a teacher needs to teach the class.
Tinkr also makes coding awesome by letting students write real-world webapps like websites, chat and multiplayer games that they can share to friends (they actually work, with database and everything).
I'm based in Estonia, looking for people that want to scale to the world, primarily missing a marketing person, but also designers, sales and wouldn't say no to dev help either.
First full-length course has been done and paid for. Students were thrilled.
