That is seems to be more about the underlying infra (BEAM) than the language. I thought it was something specific to Elixir. I thought they meant it at the level of program logic, which is why it seemed very confusing.
I guess Lisp is about beauty and poetic justice and it shall remain in that realm.
I'll look into Elixir. Seems to have a healthy and growing ecosystem.
- dnautics 6y agoThe underlying infra is not decouplable from the language. The beam is first and foremost designed to get stuff done easy and without error, not to be beautiful and poetic. Doesn't mean it can't be beautiful! And programming is fun because it feels like programming with training wheels on.
