I keep getting baited by these comments so this is the last one I'll respond to, lol.
replyElixir is always been sort of a "typed dynamic language" due to how baked in pattern matching is. Any good Elixir developer has always been thinking about types anyway, it's almost impossible not to.
That’s a good point! And I suppose you don’t have willy-nilly reassignment of properties like you do in ruby/php/js.
replyAlso, as I kept forgetting to mention, there are no overloaded operators (`+` only works on numbers, for example... unfortunately it does work on both ints and floats but that's another story). The one pain point is that comparriason operators works across all types, but the compiler has already been warning against doing that for at least a year now.
replyOk dang. Well. I guess I have no reason not to dive fully into the elixir now.
replyI’ve toyed around with it a handful of times and I really like it. I like the clojure-ey immutability and threading operators and such. And of course I’ve heard so much about the magic of the BEAM and the phoenix framework. But between typescript and clojure I’ve never felt like I needed anything else.
But if the type system is pretty good, that’s a huge plus over clojure in my book.
