I think you misunderstood me. I said "They lack support for pure functional programming" which does not imply that they should force the developer into using it

- ilyt 4y agoWhat it is missing in Elixir/Erlang ? I only have ops experience with those
- valenterry 4y agoBasics for pure functional programming support would be some kind of IO-effect-type, tail-call-optimization (Elixir supports that), syntactic sugar for IO-combinators (to build up the "concurrent execution-plan" without actually executing it). Optimally also stdlib functions and an ecosystem that help. Those can be rebuilt, but most people consider them tightly related to the language, so without it, it couldn't probably be called great support.
