Sounds very similar to my experience with Clojure. I think Elixir and Clojure are alike in that regard.

I've been following this project for a while, congratulations on the release!
Even though I don't have much use for PHP at the moment, I wish it finds a niche in the market and becomes widely used. Good luck!
AI has automated my favorite part of the job: coding.
Gone is all the experience in clean code, good idioms, etc. All replaced by easily generated shitty code that can be removed and generated again as we please, until it works. No thought about the quality of code itself. Some companies are straight up forcing programmers to live in Claude Code and never even see the code, just write the spec.
It’s disgusting. And the worst part is that you can’t opt-out. If you give even the slightest hint that you don’t like AI you’re seen as a Luddite and you’ll be put next in line for the upcoming layoff.
I thought I was the only one that noticed this and it was driving me insane. Can’t believe the experience is so sluggish, makes me miss KDE so much which is ridiculous.
But I created $100k worth of code just yesterday recreating a poorly maintained (and poor ux) library.
How, exactly, are you calculating the worth of your code? Did you manage to sell in the same day? Why is it "worth $100k"?

Being in a tight AI loop just wasn't part of the design of any existing programming languages.
I would dare to say that any Lisp (Common Lisp, Clojure, Racket, whatever) is perfect for a tight AI loop thanks to REPL-driven development. It's an interesting space to explore and I know that the Clojure community at least are trying to figure out something there.
And the most HN title award goes to...
we know what a de-dollarized world looks like - imperialism
Is this some kind of joke? Or is it only imperialism when other countries besides the US do it?
How are people still buying into the whole "voting with your wallet" crap?
It's getting very annoying to see posts that use ChatGPT as source, sadly it seems like this is the future.
I used to feel this way until management made AI tools mandatory.
I wonder the same thing.
Jesus, can't people have fun anymore? Does everything have to be "important for humanity"?
Do you listen to music, read books, have sex etc? I bet you do. And I also bet that you would find it pretty ridiculous if someone asked you why you do those things instead of helping humanity.
We need a revolution already, it's overdue. Fuck this shit.
Man, this FFI looks extremely clean!
Clojure has this
user=> (#(println %1 %2) "Hello " "Clojure")
Hello Clojuremaking six figures typing away in a well furnished office
I don't know about you but I don't make anything even remotely close to six figures...
You know, there's a lot more to the working class than just manual labor. Anyone that depends on a wage to live is a worker, and we all share the same struggles.
Wish there were similar pages for other languages, I want to learn Russian and I can't find anything with this quality.
So he's basically gaming the market with insider trading.
Well, OpenFoodFacts are actual facts. This seems to rely on LLMs to do the job.
Stop thinking about the job market bro, you're 14. Go outside and have fun.
I don't believe in the institution of marriage so no. I don't need some religious arrangement to justify my love.
Great website! Hope you continue with it, love the layout
I really don't understand what flow is and what problem it solves. I've read the commit comments and some posts but I still don't get it.
As a third worlder, this is hilarious. I'm sorry but I can't help but laugh at the panic some people are manifesting over the US no longer being the world police and involving itself militarily in another continent.
I don't like Trump, I really don't, but I hope he continues with this. Sadly he probably won't do the same with Israel though.
Man, people will believe anything they get told about the DPRK won't they?
The fact that it was "hard to buy" is absolutely irrelevant.
For all the outrage, I yet have to see a single person in Argentina produce a TXHASH that proves they put money on the project.
So, it's OK to participate and promote a memecoin rugpull if they're not from your own country?
