Devs don't want to manage VMs. Patching, gold loads, SSH configs, k8s, so on

Which devs?

I'm a developer and I enjoy most of these things. Working with k8s is a pleasure, managing VMs can be quite simple (and more often than not, is). I don't do much patching, but I "SSH" into our k8s pods quite frequently. I've never thought, gee I wish I had a lambda to simplify this. I know I _also_ don't represent all devs, but I'm never seen this comment made outside of it being an argument supporting FAAS.

not sure how i made it through my entire CS degree without learning this term. either that or i just don't remember it. anyways, thank you! this is really useful even outside of Elixir.

anyone mind explaining the /# to me? like `Application.get_env/3`. been wanting to learn Elixir for awhile now, but didn't even know what do Google for that one.

This. I went into my 400 level cryptography class with 0 Number Theory knowledge as it wasn't a prerequisite. Big mistake, it should've been. My lowest grade in college and I still busted my ass.

That being said, it was incredibly interesting and I do not regret it.

You would be surprised - I use Godot to make games, program in Vi, and currently do art in Piskel (https://www.piskelapp.com/). Will definitely give RX a try!

Can you speak more to the scope of this? I'll be watching the video later - but, I'm curious how this "isn't possible to build"?

Also curious about the reasoning behind a new language (Dark), instead of supporting other languages out of the box. Could've started simple with supporting node / python and worked towards go, rust, etc.
