As @theamk mentioned this visualization is based on Freebase Language Collection.

As a side-note on the matter I also couldn't find Swift, but was quite surprised that I found Elixir :)

I'm thinking that this is not as `black&white` as said.

There are accounts which actually are used by people/companies, they post authentic content but do some automated actions.

E.g. a company account which tweets authentic content for their field but on the other hand has automated retweets on certain hashtags in order to gain their authors as followers or to come up as related to other accounts in same field.

Also to mention that there are services such as IFTTT which actually can help you to automate such actions and make bot-like behavior.

I guess the same would apply to Instagram, Pinterest, Reddit, etc.

But isn't channels the Phoenix abstraction (middleware) for websockets/sockets per se?

What I mean is why not write a sockets Phoenix channels transports adapter to be used instead of the default one & continue using the existing codebase? :)

You're right. I've used it once as a part of an exercise in the "Programming Elixir" book and never again.

It should maybe come bundled with mix, as some other tools, that way it'll be more approachable.

Also there's a wrapper for it, which helps in the process.[0]

Actually most western European countries have 'expat programs' for eastern European countries with job offerings mostly as babysitters/valets/waiters.

They're intended for young people & the stay is between 6 months & 2 years.

In that context 'expats' is used for temporal residence in foreign countries with no intentions to be made permanent. It's mostly intended for young people to travel around, not much for the financial benefit.

So in my understanding it's the intentions which define, not skin color / continents.

PS. The written above is a definition from my personal point of view :)

I was thinking about this a year ago & decided on Elixir. So far I have no regrets. As you mentioned Elixir satisfies all the conditions you mentioned. For the static typing part, I agree. But since there's no OOP, the flow of the information throughout the app is pretty explicit & the reasoning behind it is easy to be debugged.

Right now with Sierra even Apple has it's Picture-in-Picture as part of the OS itself. What I don't like is that they require the site to comply to their PiP & at the moment as I'm aware of only Vimeo does that. That aside there are some hacks how to enable it on other sites such as Youtube. [0]

I tested Opera's video pop-out as an alternative to macOS's PiP. What is positive here is that Opera's mode supports most of the video players. Also what I like in Opera's mode is that you can actually control the timeline in the pop-out which seems useful.

But the deal-breaker is when you change focus between desktops (Apple's Spaces). Opera's video pop-out doesn't follow you. Actually you have to transfer the browser window with you on the other desktop in order to have the video pop-out which kinda brakes the point of the feature for me.

What is your opinion on Elixir as a next generation with the OTP approach?

I'm a Swift developer, I'm learning Elixir & I love OTP's model. In my opinion Apple or anyone else won't go in that direction is because it's way different & it's learning curve will push most developers away.

Hey lubos, I have a company & I do most of this by hand. The reason is that I tried different apps but I got lost in them & gave up on them.

Have you thought on maybe making a walkthrough screencast for tech guys like us from zero to doing the whole accounting through your app?

Thanks for the app, great job :)
