Elixir was my Koolaid when it comes to functional programming. After getting the hang of pattern matching, I was hooked. Everything I'd do on Ruby/Rails, I just do on Elixir/Phoenix instead.
- dmix 9y agoClojure was my FP Koolaid, but Erlang (which I learned before Elixir) really blew my mind with it's pattern matching heavy syntax. I'm happy Elixir kept it as part it's core design patterns. So agreed it's a great abstraction that every modern language should be using. That plus extensive use of list comprehensions when working with arrays.
