I have been playing with the idea of rewriting an old web-app I made over the past 20 years. It's right now running on #LAMP and is targeted at #mobile devices, but I'd like to modernize it to use #PostgreSQL and a web #framework that's not old enough to be well into its first divorce.
I'm used to #Java + #Angular (and derivatives like #Ionic), but I'm thinking I want something new. What are people happy with (and have used for actual development beyond a Hello World tutorial)? I can Bing, so I'm more interested in real experiences. I'm not terribly interested in React or Vue, and have already given Swift/SwiftUI for iOS a spin, so I don't want that.
Should have a mobile-first #frontend, be decently mature so I don't have to rewrite in 2 years when support stops. I need a backend and Postgres access. Would like support for #PWA.
Can be Angular-based or stand-alone, can be separate backend and frontend or mixed/tag-soup/hydration-like. #Typescript or the like are fine, but not a requirement. Fuck #Erlang / #Elexir. If you're going to suggest #Go or #Rust better have a good argument because most people suggesting those are extremely annoying people. #Flutter / #Dart = yuck.
I'm using it to track goals/habits and make #charts, #statistics, and some basic machine learning (k-means, affinity propagation, GMM, and other #clustering, that sort of thing). I can program statistics and clustering myself, but a native chart library would be nice (heatmaps, line charts, bar charts/histograms, that sort of thing) and I wouldn't mind not having to implement my own probability distributions. User authentication (persistent between application restarts) is a must (by framework or popular libraries). I can do #Bootstrap, #tailwind, and other front-end #CSS, but I'd be perfectly happy not having to as long as I can make my widgets purple. -

Персональные MTProto-прокси
Пока мы ждём, что в Telegram наконец раскатится обновлённая реализация Fake-TLS, хочу рассказать о своей реализации MTProto-прокси 2018 года, которая снова становится актуальной, и об одной из её уникальных возможностей. MTProto-прокси — решение для обхода блокировок Telegram в странах с интернет-цензурой (мы говорим про Иран конечно же 😄). Типичная схема выглядит так: оператор поднимает прокси с одним секретным ключем на всех, публикует одну ссылку, и тысячи людей ей пользуются. Просто, но у этой модели есть реальные ограничения: Нет контроля доступа. Любой, у кого есть ссылка, может пользоваться вашим сервером бесконечно. Отозвать доступ у конкретного пользователя без смены общего секрета — а значит, без поломки ссылок у всех остальных — невозможно. Нет аналитики на пользователя. Видно общее число соединений и IP-адреса, но не понять, кто активен, кто раздал свою ссылку полусотне друзей и кто потребляет весь ваш трафик. Ограниченная монетизация. Да, есть “спонсорские каналы”, но если хотите продавать доступ — не за что зацепиться: секрет один на всех, привязать подписку не к чему. А что если у каждого пользователя будет свой уникальный секрет, дающий доступ только ему? Тогда можно продавать подписки, отзывать доступ у отдельных пользователей, ограничивать использование и отслеживать уровень активности.

I've been rebuilding some of my #erlang applications to conform to #OTP application standards and by gods, is that difficult! My goal was multithreading and observability as my work requires handling thousands of operations per second. But the built-in Erl Observer doesn't show my applications or modules when they're running. Everything runs on local for now. Any of you erlang wizzards know how to make mine visible to the Observer application?

Ah, yes, because what #JavaScript needed was to masquerade as an Erlang/OTP process 🤦♂️. #The only thing more mind-numbing than this concept is the GitHub README that reads like it was written by a bot high on caffeine. But hey, at least it comes with a "*builtin #TypeScript toolchain*"—because #reinventing the #wheel with unnecessary #complexity is always in vogue! 🚀

poking at the #erlang cosmos with #elixir and #gleam and this all makes perfect sense to me
for me making an effort to learn OOP turned out to be somewhat of a waste of time and I abandoned it at the next feasible opportunity and never looked back
it's just not how I think stuff works and it never really clicked

Проект Hornbeam — новый способ задеплоить ваше приложение на питоне
Здравствуйте, дорогие читатели! Сегодня я расскажу вам о проекте hornbeam , который переводится на русский язык как "граб" - это такое дерево, похожее на дуб. Он позволяет деплоить сервисы на питоне, используя для этого виртуальную машину эрланга, BEAM (!) А также, позволяет удобно запускать код на питоне, если вы уже используете Erlang или Elixir. Фреймворк, на мой взгляд - полностью в духе эпохи, в которой доминируют питон, дата-саенс, машинное обучение и LLM, и в которой в программирование продолжают проникать полупрофессиональные инструменты из среды дата-саентистов и других энтузиастов - к счастью. Дошло уже до того, что инструменты и практики с почти безупречной репутацией, такие как kubernetes и контейнеризация, уступают место крайне любительскому подходу вроде "для инфраструктуры используйте эрланг". Проект задумал и осуществил автор широко известного веб-сервера gunicorn, он адресован широкому сообществу программистов на питоне и эрланге.

📣 Big step forward for DNSimple, our name servers now run a hybrid Erlang + Elixir stack on the BEAM. Core DNS logic stays in Erlang for performance and reliability, while higher‑level orchestration moved to Elixir for better tooling and testing. A balanced evolution that shows the strength and flexibility of the BEAM ecosystem.

Question for #Erlang , #Elixir , #BEAMVM people:If I wrote my web app in Elixir, would I be able to get rid of #Nginx and just use some Elixir framework to do TLS termination, load balancing, and hot code reloading whenever I needed to change up the routes? Can this be done across numerous compute nodes fairly easily?
Follow-up question: how difficult is it to do a database migration for an Elixir application with hot code reloading?
The reason I ask is because is because I (probably unwisely) asked an LLM chatbot (Gemini) this question and it said typically people put their Elixir programs behind an Nginx load balancer so you can reboot the Elixir application if necessary. I asked it why anyone would do this since the main benefit of using the BEAM VM and Erlang/Elixir it is to have hot code reloading and no downtime. The chatbot started spouting off very confused and self-contradictory answers, so I am pretty sure it was just lying.
But I am no expert on Elixir, so now I want to ask a human who knows better than me, the way we all used to do before LLMs were invented.

Is Node.js the future of backend development, or just a beautifully wrapped grenade?
Lately, I see more and more backend systems, yes, even monoliths, built entirely in Node.js, sometimes with server-side rendering layered on top. These are not toy projects. These are services touching sensitive PII data, sometimes in regulated industries.
When I first used Node.js years ago, I remember:
• Security concepts were… let’s say aspirational.
• Licensing hell due to questionable npm dependencies.
• Tests were flaky, with mocking turning into dark rituals.
• Behavior of libraries changed weekly like socks, but more dangerous.
• Internet required to run a “local” build. How comforting.Even with TypeScript, it all melts back into JavaScript at runtime, a language so flexible it can hang itself.
Sure, SSR and monoliths can simplify architecture. But they also widen the attack surface, especially when:
• The backend is non-compiled.
• Every endpoint is a potential open door.
• The system needs Node + a fleet of dependencies + a container + prayer just to run.Compare that to a compiled, stateless binary that:
• Runs in a scratch container.
• Requires zero runtime dependencies.
• Has encryption at rest, in transit, and ideally per-user.
• Can be observed, scaled, audited, stateless and destroyed with precision.I’ve shipped frontends that are static, CDN-delivered, secure by design, and light enough to fit on a floppy disk. By running them with Node, I’m loading gigabytes of unknown tooling to render “Hello, user”.
So I wonder:
Is this the future? Or am I just… old?Are we replacing mature, scalable architectures with serverless spaghetti and 12-factor mayhem because “it works on Vercel”?
Tell me how you build secure, observable, compliant systems in Node.js.
Genuinely curious.
