A car as metaphor, and featuring yet another introduction to functional programming, yet I liked reading This is the Future of Webdev. Crazy, Right? on Elixir, and Phoenix Liveview, a web framework. The article starts with a general overview of functional programming and obligatory criticism on object oriented programming, but builds u pretty quickly to an intro to Erlang, Elixir and Phoenix Liveview.

To a certain extend the way it allows communication from client and server in both ways very natural reminds me a bit of Vaadin and Meteor, but with added advantage of a fp and the actor model.
