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
