I feel like the title is a bit misleading. All 3 are still uncoupled, it's more that the V and C is now cohered in the directory structure, which seems a bit more ergonomic.

Bandit is written in pure Elixir which is a bit undesirable to integrate with pure Erlang projects. From what I gleaned off the podcast, it's a subset of the HTTP features available in Cowboy, specifically those that are available on

I think I've encountered a couple of times where I've gotten obscure errors, and I agree that error messaging needs to be improved. On the other hand, every time it's pointed out an error, it was right. And IMHO union type-

I think that Jose makes a solid case that static typing doesn’t bring as much to the table to Elixir as most people believe, but enough people point to the lack of it as a reason not to adopt the language that it’s worth addressing. Again,

Why would honey bees evolve to leave behind an autonomous pump with their stinger? I don’t think the article suggests that all stings result in suicide, it merely answers the question of why it happens at all, and why it is peculiar to onl
