Considerations for Using Elixir or Erlang to Code a DNS Server
The author, fosres, is planning to learn Elixir to master the Actor Model for concurrency-oriented programming and create a proof-of-concept DNS server. They highlight the advantages of the BEAM virtual machine for server fault tolerance and are looking for advice on whether to use Elixir or Erlang for their project. The comments suggest that both languages are suitable, with the choice largely depending on personal preference or familiarity. Some commenters lean towards Elixir due to its more powerful macro system and extra comforts, while noting that Erlang already has established DNS server implementations.
