Hey guys, just wanted to share a story. Some time ago I inherited the code base for a realtime web app written in nodejs that was old, very unstable, and leaking memory left and right. As we decided to rewrite everything, I spent a month prototyping a few different solutions:
- python + pushpin + nginx - clojure + redis + nginx - go - elixir + rethinkdb + postgres It just bothered me that I had to use so many moving parts or use worse languages like go. Then it hit me: Chicago Boss is the perfect framework for this kind of problem. To cut the story short, it only took me 1/3 of the time to write the prototype, it uses less moving parts (I ditched all external services like pushpin or nginx push module) and performs very well. So, I confess I was bearish on Chicago Boss, pmods being deprecated, Evan leaving and all. But this little experiment made me realize that Chicago Boss still fills a niche that others don't. Elixir/phoenix is a nice stack, but I find Erlang much more elegant and succinct. So, is anybody else still using Chicago Boss? How can we make it relevant again? BTW, thanks Dmitry for carrying the torch forward and, if there's anyone still listening, let's make some noise! rlander -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ChicagoBoss" group.
