The biggest problem with Elixir imo are the horrible error messages.
Especially around using macros, but also other lexing errors like missing closing delimiters, ...
Line numbers are often non-existant or wrong, and the terminal output is hard to read.
Devs should take some inspiration from Rust. Wonderful error messages, and mostly accurate line numbers even in expanded macros.
Otherwise, Elixir is definitely interesting though.
- jswny 10y agoInteresting, I've never come across a situation in which the line numbers in the error message were incorrect.
