I’ve been using Elixir for most of the past six years and really haven’t ever been bitten by the type system. I’m fairly sure that pattern matching , structs and immutability is why. This topic has come up quite a few times on HN, but it seems like it’s generally people who haven’t ever used Clojure or another similar immutable functional language that worry about this. IMO, Elixir and Clojure hit the sweet spot between a language like Ruby and one with an ML-inspired type system.
