Because Ruby is OOP, Elixir is functional. Some people just get used to OOP to structure program.

- travisgriggs 4y agoFair enough. But I did twenty years as a Smalltalk developer, including 6 years being tools/gui lead at one of the commercial vendors. I’ve played with Ruby, but not enough to get invested. It wasn’t OOP at the level I was used to. I do Elixir, and it’s the first time I’ve had those “this is so elementarily cool” feelings since my 10 year hiatus from Smalltalk. The thing I like least about Elixir is it’s use ruby-esque do/end and it’s quasi inclusion of new lines as a sometimes relevant syntactic element.
