Does anyone use elixir?
I wanna have a realistic view going into it about the good and bad things but everything I google makes it sound like god's gift to programming, just like every other niche language.
John Foster
using cmake was his first mistake
c++ his second
Wyatt Hall
nah, just make your destructors virtual
Gavin Jones
it's niche for a reason
Brayden Ross
The good:
+ Very good resources and community
+ pretty good libraries
+ least awful dynamic functional lang
+ most syntax is pretty straight forward
+backed by erlang
The bad:
- Compiler can be VERY dumb sometimes, and spit out errors that aren't actually valid, but caused by an underlying chain of other errors due to MAGIC
- some syntax is VERY ugly like maps
- VERY pedantic sometimes, such as an error if you forget to space your keyword argument after a colon
- lots of libraries tend to have a lot of MAGIC and bloat which can feel VERY overwhelming and unnecessary.
And that's just in my ~few months with it
