✒️ I signed up last year but not sure what brought me here due to lack of 1/2 year activity 😅😝
📚 Currently learning GatsbyJS & Styled Components.
But planning to learn Docker, PWA (Progressive Web Apps) & Elixir. (I've been a .NET developer and want to focus more on front-end)
😂 Fun fact? (more like hobbies)
I like manga, anime (<-- I will list if anyone's interested), Japanese light novels (translated in Korean) & online Korean fantasy novels (Munpia).
I used to collect figures but stopped for financial reasons.
During weekends, I read, write a blog & code and catch up with Korean variety TV 📺 shows (Running Man, 2 days 1 night, I live Alone, etc).
That makes me want to ditch learning Docker and dive into Elixir
😜.
Any problem your friend ran into while working with it by chance? AFAIK, Functional Programming requires a brain-rewire for OOP programmers
Nothing specific problems AFAIK but you are right, he said the same thing that it requires a brain-rewire :P And also that at first it might be a bit hard (especially if you are coming from OOP world) but once you "get" how things are done in Elixir, it's just gets so much better!
lol you don't really need a complete brain rewire. started learning elixir a month ago and coming from oop (python) it has been great. the syntax ain't that bad and you can always get help from the elixir forum whenever you stuck
There used to be a show called, Infinite Challenge, which aired for 10+ years but ended a few months ago (To whet your appetite, check out some Jack Black eps) <- this will always be my favorite TV show ever.
For now, my current fave ♥️ is "I Live Alone", which is a show about people living alone. It's the chemistry between each participants that's really enjoyable (not to mention their daily lives).
Elixir developer here. In fact I just dived into it few months ago and fell in love with the language. I'm currently developing my first project.
If there's a way I could be helpful to you, let me know.
You should look at the ElixirForum (elixirforum.com). Also, I'd suggest you join the ElixirLang channel on slack (elixir-slackin.herokuapp.com/). In there you'll find topics both for begginers and advanced coders. Also, you could follow me on twitter (@JPYamamoto9), I usually post interesting articles every one or two days from the elixir community.
Spanish is my first language, but I'm looking forward writing my first article in english about elixir one of these days, I'll let you know as soon as I do.
Any help you need understanding Elixir concepts don't hesitate to contact me.
My favorite series has to be Ghost in the Shell. I also enjoyed Darker than Black :) To tell the truth I haven't really tracked all the anime I have watched... I used to watch a ton. Let's see, I also liked Attack on Titan but it does get tiring chain watching too mank episodes. Lucky Star is best comedy but not every guy thinks so.
Thank you for posting your anime list! I started watching Uchuu no Stellvia ;)

Hello! I have a friend who has been working with elixir for few months now and he has said nothing but good things about it!
ps. Your blog looks great!
Hi there, Tuomo.

And thank you for checking out the blog, mate 🤡

Ah, it sounds challenging (but I wouldn't run away from one).

I was reading a chapter on
List & Recursion(Programming Elixir by Dave Thomas).Implementing
mapwasn't so bad butreducerequired some change in thinking. (Andmapsumdoubly so 😛)But it's been a fun experience.
I had a quick look at your blog and I found it quite interesting !!
What are some Korean TV shows that you'd recommend ??
Thanks @karenbvh for the interest 🤡.
I've been trying to blog once a week for few years 😎.
Korean 📺 shows?
Here are some I watch weekly (preference in ⬇️ order)

Thank you Juan.
Are there any communities (slack, forum, etc) that might help?
and I'd love to check out should you were to write about Elixir and you experience with it so far 😉

Thank you so much, Juan for the resources mentioned 🙇
I've recently purchased Programming Elixir by Dave Thomas and hope to get started with it soon.
And I will keep monitoring your twitter for the update & looking forward to your articles :)
That's an excellent book. Great purchase. Also, you should read Metaprogramming Elixir once you finish.
I now know the next book to read 😎
I am also an Anime fan! Please post a few favorites :)
Hi @robotjulia .
Here are my favorite animes.
I didn't mention other classics like GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka), Cowboy Bebop, and Evangelion as they are liked by all in general
If you want to know more (such as my first anime/manga) I will list as well
I've been tracking my list on MAL since 2009
(MyAnimList) but it's been locked out after a week long shutdown (been trying to recover).
I've also written a .NET Frame library, MyAnimListSharp to call MAL library but can't update it as I have no access to it any more.
And here is the YouTube playlist of my fave anime songs.
Now, it's my turn to ask YOU 😛.
What are your favorite animes/mangas?
My favorite series has to be Ghost in the Shell. I also enjoyed Darker than Black :) To tell the truth I haven't really tracked all the anime I have watched... I used to watch a ton. Let's see, I also liked Attack on Titan but it does get tiring chain watching too mank episodes. Lucky Star is best comedy but not every guy thinks so.

All animes mentioned are great.
It's just that we don't have enough time to watch'em all 😉.
Stellviamight be old (15 yo) but I hope you enjoy it 😎⭐️
