Dear Elixir Community, First, I hope I choosed the right thread to post… After Clojure last year, I’m currently studiying Elixir. I’ve read several books, seen tons of videos and also struggled with some exercices on Exercism/Elixir ( a bit less “beginners friendly” than its Clojure counterpart “…

I redevelopped an entire new application (“Simple SFTP Client Server in Elixir”), based on things I learned this year: Here’s the SscsEx GitHub page NB: You can only use this repository as an inspiration for your own code as SscsEx will NOT be updated: I’m now on my way to the next Elixir step: le…

[image] dimitarvp: If you really really want that server to remain singular then maybe it’s time to look into Rust or Go or OCaml. At that scale on a single server then you are looking at pure socket performance, so C/C++ or Rust with specific libraries, or Nim (I’m still heavily impressed at…

Well a while back I wanted to transfer some files so … Why I often implement things from scratch Once upon a time there was an Erlang programmer who needed an FTP server running on one of the hosts in a private network. In fact he didn't... :slight_smile:

Well you have sockets, and something to compute an MD5 checksum - which is actually all you need. Forget all the generic this and that and make a simple socket client and server (homework - find out the smallest socket client and server code) Making a client/server over a socket is virtually the f…

[image] OvermindDL1: You will be looking at memory pools, no-alloc structures, etc… etc… Possibly even DPDK…

I will follow your “slow” way in Elixir to learn it with the help of your article “Why I often implement things from scratch”. Thanks for your advice ! :wink:

Very exciting debate on languages comparisons… Even if it drives me a bit far from my original concern ! :roll_eyes::grinning: Nevertheless, to fix some boundaries about my initial request: The fact that I posted my request on Elixirforum and nowhere else is a bit related to the fact that my benc…

[image] Jaypee: The fact that I posted my request on Elixirforum and nowhere else is a bit related to the fact that my benchmarks focus on Elixir only as it is what I have to evaluate: So Rust, Go, OCaml or others (surely) fine and powerfull languages are, for the moment at least, out of my scop…

Fisrt, thanks for your help. [image] OvermindDL1: What client(s) do you want pulling from it (something prebuilt and if so what, or will you make it yourself)? Will make it myself as the client will be (only) the server: BTW each server should be able to send and receive files and these file…

Surprised no one’s mentioned BitTorrent yet. By definition, a way to efficiently distribute files across peers. Found this slide deck about the details: http://www.erlang-factory.com/static/upload/media/1474809327462227martingausbyimplementingbittorrentinelixireuc2016.pdf

Perhaps because implementing a whole P2P protocol such as BitTorrent seems to be, as stated in the slides, a bit of, an “hard challenge” (at least for me) to achieve the goals that, at first glance, didn’t seem so complicated to me (but I’m certainly wrong indeed): securely transfering files betwee…
