Is any of this needed though? For some use cases yes, but for many no. It's possible the parent has no practical use for these capabilities.

- lucasyvas 4y agoThe author gave static types and performance as examples of things that matter to them that they clearly don't feel Elixir does as well. It's probable they weren't the target demographic for Elixir, like many aren't the target demographic for Rust. The initial response made an assumption that all these capabilities matter either way, and that's not true.

- pdpi 4y agoIf you're building a project that actually benefits from Elixir/Erlang's features, you can have a constructive discussion about whether those features justify sacrificing static typing. If you don't actually benefit from those features, "I tried to use a language that's unfit for my purposes and found it unfit for my purposes" is a comment of very limited value.
