I gave it a try a few months ago. The first thing that I searched for was the REPL. Comparing it with Python, I prefer ipython over irb. It would be nice to see some improvement on DX on the REPL side

What actionable things do you think IRB is missing vs ipython?

I was about to mention that.

Wonder if Wails have the same issue on Linux.

Have you tried cocoindex?

Can you elaborate on this? How is npm/cargo/etc better than pip on this regard?

As far as I know, files like requirements.txt, package.json, cargo.toml are intended to be used as a snapshot of the dependencies in your project.

In case you need to update dependency A that also affects dependency B and C, I am not sure how one tool is better than other.

Open a requirements.txt and a package.lock.json next to each other and compare. Then you will know the answer to the question what npm, cargo, and others are doing better than pip. Oh, did I sneek a ".lock" in there? Damn right I did.

They will resolve a version that works for all dependencies if it exists.

I gave it a try a few months ago, but did not work for me. My main issue is that atuin broke my workflow with fzf (If I remember correctly, pressing ctrl + r to lookup my shell history did not work well after installing atuin).

I'm sympathetic, also a longtime fzf user here. I install it reflexively on any system I use for more than a day or two.

This is configurable! I use atuin, but fzf with ctrl-r.

Another advantage of using Elixir/Erlang/Phoenix is high availability. If one client/incomming requests is taking a lot of time to complete, other users are not affected. We can even inspect the system in real time via iex. Please search for "The soul of Elixir" in YouTube, Sasa Juric explains this. Highly recommended.

That is an interesting mix. Wonder if it is possible to send messages among Erlang VMs in different pods.

If Kubernetes is not involved, passing messages between Elixir nodes is easy. We just need the name of thr node (and a cookie, if needed).

Not sure if that is possible inside a Kube cluster.

Sure, have a look at Biwalkers library libcluster and especially at the Kubernetes Strategies. For example this one: https://hexdocs.pm/libcluster/Cluster.Strategy.Kubernetes.ht...
