im a simple man. i see Elixir, i upvote.

that being said, this article was pretty informative. The bit about the proposed SO_REUSEPORT socket option was really interesting. Really fun to read about performance bottleneck detection and improvement.

edit: wow, downvoting for making a simple joke about liking elixir. Cool.

I think that the inclination towards "meaningless" humor makes it too much like Reddit. These folks want SUBSTANCE! (Well, that's why _I_ come here, at least!)

Simple jokes from a simple man... I laughed anyway.
