Imo this complaint is really overrated: https://arrowsmithlabs.com/blog/you-might-not-need-gradual-typing-in-elixir https://arrowsmithlabs.com/blog/you-might-no

  I liked the article, but I found it a bit strange that it presented pure functions as a feature of Elixir rather than as a general good practice. Surely there's nothing particularly unique about Elixir in this regard compared to other languages?

    There are auxiliary language features such as pattern matching that make pure functions viable at scale.
