In what ways does Elixir feel "hacky"? I get that it can be inconsistent at times but the whole language is really a Lisp-2 in disguise.

- eru 2y agoAny Lisp-ness comes from Elixir being a skin on Erlang, and so comes almost anything else good to say about Elixir. (And my comment was explicitly comparing Elixir to Erlang.) The 'pipe' is hacky, for example, because it's just syntactic sugar that only works in one specific case, and not in general.
