Hey, not sure if this was your intention, but your comment came across as quite rude, and makes me feel discouraged from commenting on something in the future that I'm not 100% confident about. And of course that's no way to learn.
A more encouraging response would be one that doesn't focus on whether or not I understand correctly (I'd already acknowledged that I may not), but on what the differences are, thereby spreading your knowledge rather than using it to make people feel excluded.
- medo-bear 3y agoHi, I'm sorry for coming across as rude, but your post had no content other than a statement that you think Elixir has similar syntax benefits as Lisp. Maybe if you wrote, "I think this is similar to Elixir because so and so", someone would be able to give you a more informative reply as to why you are wrong
- edanm 3y agoI disagree. The comment pointed out another language with similar benefits to the article, and linked to another article which specifically talked about syntax rules of Elixir. It was useful for me, personally.
- medo-bear 3y agosome consider posting a link to some content you want to use as an argument, bad form. usually what is expected is to make your claim and use that article as reference to support it. this also helps lay bare your understanding of the content you are linking to. with that said, what precisely do you think are the similar benefits of elixir syntax rules to those of common lisp?
