Sign me up. I hold hope that Elixer is the thing that starts pushing the knife into OOP. Microsoft has added a ton of features to make functional style a thing in C#, and nearly everyone hates Java...so maybe the stars are aligning.
- innocentoldguy 6y agoAgreed. OOP is obnoxiously convoluted at times and—I feel anyway—never fully delivered on its promises of reuse. I've been using Elixir for about five years now and I never want to write another line of OOP code. I don't care what language it is in.
- connorlay 6y agoThis has been my experience as well. I left Elixir for a brief stint with Kotlin, a modern OOP language, and it was jarring how many abstractions and incidental complexity I had to wrangle with to be productive and ship well-tested features.
