Almost no one writes macros in the elixir ecosystem though, only the biggest players (phoenix, ecto, exunit). I have no problem reading my elixir code from a year ago. The erlang otp tftp module, by contrast, is indecipherable, with three layers of module indirection I had to fight against (there was a fatal bug with a misspelled atom that I couldn't trace the code path to). In the end, I just wrote my own tftp.
