If you find yourself in such conditions that JS developers unable to google ‶elixir ampersand″ are the ones reviewing your code often enough for it to be a constraint while developing, your company has much deeper problems far up the comman

‶I don't know this language, so I would reject the snippet in code review″ I certainly hope that for the sake of integrity, you would decline reviewing a language that you don't know.

Ampersands are the builtin symbol for point-free evaluation in Elixir. If you forget what it means in a month, you will probably have other problems than this single snippet.

No: e.g. the USSR paid the Brest-Litovsk reparation while being in the middle of its revolutionary war, France paid Versailles (1871) in a few years while being in the middle of its own Commune. According to Versailles, Germany had actually

France paid in 1871 a sum in the same ballpark than Germany should have paid in 1918. The difference was that France paid in full and in advance (so much in full that the cash influx actually caused a crash in Germany – https://e
