- Atom has recently gained a significantly better support with the atom-elixir package. Adding language-elixir and linter-elixir packages creates a moderately enjoyable experience.

- So, to say "I trust/distrust all media sources in equal measure" demonstrates a wilful ignorance, or incredible naiveté.
- >Having an effective universal annotation platform in wide use across the web
...funded by venture capital with an expectation of hyper growth and liquidity event would not necessarily be beneficial for all users. To put it mildly.

- >People keep complaining about how slow Atom is, how much memory it hogs up, etc
Which is exactly what people have been saying decades ago about Emacs, aka "Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping".

- Atom adoption among SO developers increased from 2% in 2015 to 12% in 2016. VS Code is at 7.2% and it's not even out of beta.
Both Atom and VS Code are built on Electron so it seems that web tech for building code editors and IDEs is getting really popular.
- Elixirscript is a thing though and it's being actively developed https://github.com/bryanjos/elixirscript
- Robert Virding has just announced the release on twitter https://twitter.com/rvirding/status/710259707819249664
I feel that this LFE release further validates BEAM as a promising platform for future development of new programming languages. Also I look forward to reading SICP converted to LFE. Available chapters can be found here https://www.gitbook.com/book/lfe/sicp

- TcpKali mascot is an example of great visual identity for open source projects: kawaii-touched fearsome ancient god zapping servers. It's both memorable visual symbol and an apt metaphor for core feature (load generation).
RJ-45 connectors with a skull hanging from the neck and a latte cup are just cherries on top.
- Don't trust Alexa results, they are mostly useless.
Quantcast is usually more accurate and Quizlet US Rank on Quantcast is 37.
- I don't know about Go but Elixir/Erlang has a concurrency model that spreads one request workload over several cores.
- >typo 0 server. It's bare metal, but much more performant than here
Packet's 0 server is Atom C2550 and costs 36$/month.
Scaleway C2S server is the same Atom C2550 but it costs ~$13/month.
Scaleway C2M is C2750 which has twice as much cores and costs ~20/month, so I am not seeing how it is possible for Packet 0 server to be "much more performant" when in fact Packet's offering is so much weaker.
- >normal-intelligence humans who like working hard
Because working hard is a virtue, right?
- Great news, I will. I guess that option wasn't obvious for me when I was looking over http://stardog.com/#plans
