Polyglot Stack - Multi-lingual and Multi-paradigm Application Development

With the rise of the new web, IoT and distributed service architectures, new technology alternatives appeared, but there is no silver bullet to solve all problems, so attack the domain with the best technology for each case would be a good path and save a lot of money.

Presented at Tienda Nube's Architects MeetUp.

1. Lucas Mendes | Product Architect | @devsdmf POLYGLOT STACK MULTI-LINGUAL AND MULTI-PARADIGM APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
2. POLYGLOT STACK TODAY’S APPLICATIONS ▸ Are networked ▸ Have graphical and "service" interface ▸ Persist data ▸ Must be resilient and secure ▸ Must scale
3. THE PROBLEM
4. IN A FIGHT BETWEEN A BEAR AND AN ALLIGATOR, THE TERRAIN DETERMINES THE OUTCOME. Jim Barksdale (CEO, Netscape) POLYGLOT STACK
5. THE SOLUTION
6. THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB
7. MULTILINGUAL
8. POLYGLOT STACK
9. POLYGLOT STACK PHP ▸ Interpreted ▸ Multi-paradigm: Imperative, Object Oriented, Procedural, Reflective ▸ Dynamic weak gradual typed ▸ Low learn curve ▸ Great library ecosystem ▸ Reasonably Fast ▸ Productive
10. POLYGLOT STACK JAVA ▸ Compiled (JIT) ▸ Multi-paradigm: Object Oriented, Structured, Imperative, Reflective, Concurrent ▸ Static strong typed ▸ Mid learn curve ▸ Good standard library ▸ Fast ▸ Productive
11. POLYGLOT STACK PYTHON ▸ Interpreted ▸ Multi-paradigm: Object-oriented, imperative, functional, procedural, reflective ▸ Dynamic duck strong typed ▸ Low learn curve ▸ Great standard library ▸ Reasonably Fast ▸ Productive
12. POLYGLOT STACK JAVASCRIPT ▸ Interpreted (V8) ▸ Multi-paradigm: Object-oriented (prototype-based), imperative, functional, event-driven ▸ Asynchronous ▸ Dynamic duck typed ▸ Low learn curve ▸ Great libraries ecosystem ▸ Fast ▸ Productive
13. POLYGLOT STACK SCALA ▸ Compiled (JVM) ▸ Multi-paradigm: functional, object-oriented, imperative, concurrent ▸ Static strong inferred typed ▸ High learn curve ▸ Fast ▸ Reasonably productive
14. POLYGLOT STACK GO ▸ Compiled ▸ Multi-paradigm: structured concurrent ▸ Static strong inferred typed ▸ Mid learn curve ▸ Fast ▸ Reasonably productive
15. POLYGLOT STACK C / C++ ▸ Compiled ▸ Multi-paradigm: Imperative, structured, object- oriented (C++) ▸ Static weak partially inferred typed ▸ High learn curve ▸ Incredible fast
16. DOMAIN SPECIFIC LANGUAGES
17. MULTI-PARADIGM
18. OBJECT-ORIENTED VS FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING
19. OBJECT-FUNCTIONAL PARADIGM
20. MAINTENANCE COMPLEXITY
21. POLYGLOT STACK IN INDUSTRY
22. POLYGLOT STACK
23. POLYGLOT STACK
24. POLYGLOT STACK
25. POLYGLOT STACK
26. CONSIDERATIONS
27. POLYGLOT STACK DISADVANTAGES ▸ N tool chains, languages, libraries, “ecosystems", idioms, etc… ▸ Impedance mismatch between tools ▸ Orchestration and maintenance become complex ▸ Multi-competent team of developers
28. POLYGLOT STACK ADVANTAGES ▸ The best tool for a certain job ▸ Reduce blocking by technology limitation ▸ Keep code closer to the domain using DSL’s ▸ Minimize amount of code required => faster iterations ▸ Encourage thinking about different architectural patterns
