I can't speak to Elixir/OTP, as I've not -yet- used Elixir. However, every time I've gone to use something in the Erlang/OTP standard library [0] it has always been far less complicated and far more well designed than I feared it was going to be. Maybe this is a reflection of my pessimism, but I feel that it is actually a reflection of the quality of the software. :) [0] Yes, I know that Elixir is a BEAM language and -as such- has access to both Erlang and OTP, so this distinction is terribly fine. ;)
