2. Ievgen Kuzminov http://stdout.in @iJackUA 7+ years in Web Development Ruby Team Lead in MobiDev Author of http://rwdtow.stdout.in
3. Dilemma How do we choose programming language for a product ? ❏ There is no “bad” languages ❏ The “best” lang - is the lang you know! ❏ Ecosystem does matter
4. Speed vs Quality vs Price Requests per Second in “Hello World” has nothing to do here...
5. Recent decade of The Web Dev
6. The World Has Changed
7. WAT? ❏ Backend ~> Frontend ❏ Relational ~> Denormalized ❏ Majestic Monolith ~> Microservices ❏ Static ~> Realtime ❏ a lot more ...
8. A new choice ❏ Application criterias ❏ Ecosystem: packages, tools, community ❏ Evolution roadmap ❏ A bit of personal “taste”
9. Master of “yellow” titles ❏ PHP is not so awful ❏ Ruby is not so awesome ❏ Node.JS is not so almighty
10. Master of “yellow” titles ❏ PHP is not so awful ❏ Ruby is not so awesome ❏ Node.JS is not so almighty ❏ “This city needs a hero”
11. Language
12. Language ❏ Evolution ❏ Syntax ❏ DSL ❏ Metaprogramming
13. Language ❏ Execution flow (sync, async) ❏ Performance ❏ Concurrency ❏ Debug
14. Ecosystem
15. Ecosystem ❏ Packages ❏ Web frameworks ❏ Tests ❏ Daemons ❏ Deployment ❏ IDE
16. Human Resources
17. Human Resources ❏ Entry level. Familiarity. ❏ Skills ❏ Poka-yoke ❏ Hiring
18. ❏ Low entry barrier ❏ Bigger market ❏ Cheaper Developers: ❏ Pure PHP ~> Frameworks ❏ Harder to filter skilled devs NB!
19. ❏ Quick start with Rails ❏ MVP oriented ❏ Harder to scale Developers: ❏ Solely Rails oriented ❏ Easier to filter skilled devs NB!
20. ❏ Aimed to API/Realtime ❏ Node.JS is everywhere ❏ Harder to maintain backend Developers: ❏ Come from Frontend ❏ Closer to Full-Stack NB!
21. Dark Horses of Web Development
22. Elixir, Go, Closure and others ❏ Compiled (fast) ❏ Much better performance ❏ Close to system level ❏ Functional approaches ❏ Multi-core concurrency
23. ❏ Erlang + OTP ❏ Functional ❏ Ruby-like syntax ❏ Friendly web framework ❏ Metaprogramming ❏ Scaling ❏ Fault tolerance NB! http://elixir-lang.org
24. A new choice (once again!) ❏ Application criterias ❏ Ecosystem: packages, tools, community ❏ Evolution roadmap ❏ A lot of personal “taste”
25. Brief conclusion ❏ PHP: “classic” web portal ❏ Ruby: web portal + background jobs ❏ Node.JS: isomorphic app, API + SPA ❏ Elixir: your next “world class” pet-project
