Thanks for sharing the Elixir love! More people should do this openly I think, since it’s still vastly underrated and fellow alchemists seem to be too humble to evangelize!

It's nice but if only it had types. After using languages like TypeScript and Rust, it's very hard to go back.

  You forgot to also say Rust is faster.. if all languages were very similar there's not much point in having those.

    That's fine, that's why I continue to use Rust and not Elixir.

  There are a small handful of statically typed languages on BEAM, gleam is the only one I've played around with but it's pretty neat

    Yeah I've used Gleam but unfortunately using a language for production apps that is not well supported as Rust and even Elixir is is a dealbreaker for me. Gleam is fun to play around with though.
