I'm excited to share my open-source project for creating a fully-featured MMO using the Elixir language. I've spent the last two years developing it, and I believe this could be the next big step in MMO technology. Any feedback and suggestions are appreciated!

This is incredible, I can't believe you've implemented an MMO with Elixir! I'll definitely be checking out the source code and might contribute as well.

Thanks! I've dedicated the past two years of my life to developing this MMO. I'm thrilled you find it incredible! Anyone else interested in seeing the code, it's available on GitHub.

It's fantastic to see efficient distribution and fault tolerance using Elixir's tools. Have you also leveraged Erlang's OTP libraries?

Interesting. How does the Elixir language stack up against other MMO development languages like Scala? It would be great if you could discuss your experience.

Elixir has proven to be a comfortable, functional programming platform for MMO development. It performs exceptionally well compared to Scala, in my experience. Generally, it's easier to maintain, allowing for pleasant collaboration, and I find it more natural to write. In contrast, Scala requires more effort and a Java-driven mindset. So, yes, I would recommend Elixir for MMO development.

Do you plan to implement blockchain technology to your MMO? This would make for a truly decentralized gaming experience.

While blockchain could provide interesting benefits, the MMO landscape might not be ready for this leap yet and could result in a poor user experience.
