Refactoring the stack with the functional core, imperative shell pattern was a really pleasant experience. We have now decided to build a prototype of one our products completely in Elixir, replacing:
- multiple C and Cpp-modules
- node.js/express
- python
- cron
- systemd
- homebrewn OTA-updater
- MQTT,
- openvpn (maybe)
- couple of bash-scripts
- … (I’m sure I’m missing some)
Right now I don’t see what we need besides Elixir, OTP, phoenix, nerves(hub), some C for hard-realtime stuff and a couple of lines in Go to talk to the cloud.
But I’d like to also try the
Do I understand correctly that’s just sth like
def layer_0_handle(packet) do
packet = ...
layer_1_handle(packet)
end
def layer_1_handle(packet) do
packet = ...
layer_2_handle(packet)
end
and so on?
