The paradigm is vastly different from traditionally popular programming languages, there are few tutorials, many of the tutorials that exist get out of date as the language changes and aren't in-demand enough to keep up to date, etc.
It's easy to learn Python because everyone has a blog with Python code on it.
- davydog187 8y agoFunctional programming is not vastly different from other popular programming languages. There is also a wealth of tutorials, books, and interactive learning resources for Elixir that are up to date. I'm not really sure what you're referring to
- dudul 8y agoMore than FP, the parent may have been referring to OTP and how Elixir (Erlang actually) deals with concurrency. It is indeed quite different from other popular languages.
- mercer 8y agoThat said, for a lot of Rails-style CRUD work I think a lot of the OTP stuff can remain murky, at least until you get comfortable with the rest of it.
