I’ve always found Erlang’s distinctive syntax to be a boon.
It looks different, so I don’t fall into old patterns, and there’s practically nothing there. Very concise, minimal, just gets out of the way.
I just can’t get into Elixir because it’s both too familiar and so verbose.
- pmontra 6y agoI understand your point about Erlang. I think it applies to Elixir too. Elixir notoriously looks like Ruby but it doesn't. Idiomatic Elixir is totally different. Programs are written in a different way because of pervasive pattern matching. It doesn't look like anything I used before.
