> overall the Erlang/Elixir ecosystem is very strong and lacks most of the footguns like an "eval" statement that get people Erlang has erl_eval [1] if you're looking for more ability to shoot yourself in the foot. You can call that from Elixir, but I guess that'd be weird; I'm not an Elixir person, but I'd bet you can shoot yourself in the foot if you try! There's always fun with dist and proc_lib:spawn(Node, Fun) [2], which you can put in a list comprehension with erlang:nodes() [3] if you want to shot yourself in many feet rapidly ;) [1] https://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/stdlib/erl_eval.html https://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/stdlib/erl_eval.html [2] https://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/stdlib/proc_lib.html#spawn/2 https://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/stdlib/proc_lib.html#spawn/2 [3] https://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/erts/erlang.html#nodes/0 https://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/erts/erlang.html#nodes/0
