Being that the language is user-extensible, where do you see it going in the future? Will "finished" mean feature-complete, or will we see anything worth incorporating into the language?
This isn't directed specifically at you, but to anyone who might have ideas.

- hdra 8y agoThe Elixir team took a deliberate step to limit the features built into the language itself, and prefer non-core solutions developed as external packages instead. For example, they recently scrapped plans on building property testing into the language core. Which is something I find very refreshing, TBH, having worked with the JS ecosystem, I somehow find this approach to be rather relieving for some reason.
