Sure, if you want to expand the discussion to "everyone can make every tech stack act badly" then you might have had an argument. I don't find that argument compelling however -- it's borderline meaningless.
Also nobody used the word "magically" before you did. Note that.
What's your argument exactly? That Elixir is overrated? Or something else?
Furthermore, I am not insisting on my standards of the quality of comments. I am under the impression that's the expected quality of comments on HN at large.
- SanderNL 3y agoGood sir, I am not looking for trouble. I concur, my argument is nebulous at best. To be clear, I think Elixir is marvelous. This post spiked my interest in it actually. Sorry if I come across ignorant. That’s because I am.
- pdimitar 3y agoThank you for recognizing that we were going nowhere. Apologies if my tone was sharp. I am not evangelizing tech -- I am a polyglot and I use what I find is best suited for a job, and Elixir happens to cover quite a lot of ground. That's all really. I also use Rust and Golang quite a bit. I simply get ticked off when people start demeaning something without seriously working with it or even reading a bit beforehand. Sorry if I mistakenly put you in that group.
