How’s the lack of static types treating you? Honest question as someone looking at Gleam.

- pythonaut_16 5y agoI've generally had less typing issues in Elixir than I had when working in Python (which generally wasn't a ton but varied a lot depending on the library). I've found that Elixir's functional programming model generally alleviates type issues. You're always thinking about what you are passing into a function or what function you are calling and with what data structures. A lot of type issues in JS, Ruby, Python, etc. seem to come from the mutability and object oriented parts.
