#2This must be the most unflattering congratulations I have ever read. Sounds to me like Elixir should feel guilty of being successful despite not being Erlang.

#4That was the lamest web page I ever had to open.
Please learn some decent web design. And not create your own weird style.

#5Great post, though as a disclaimer, it mirrors my own biases and thoughts on Elixir. I'm happy for its success, but I too find it a step backward.
On the positive side, I don't think we'd have gotten rebar3 without hex guiding the way.
That being said, I wish hex.pm did a better job at distinguishing between elixir packages and erlang packages. It's always super disappointing when I try and stay pure Erlang to have to sift through Elixir packages for what I am looking for.
It's amazing how far Elixir has come in 10 years. I've always hoped it can become a gateway drug for Erlang. I don't think it will, and I guess that's okay, as it pushes Erlang forward in its own way.

#6How is this number two on the front page

#7Erlang's VM is great, Erlang the language isn't imo. Elixir just did it better imo and this person seemingly can't stand that people seem to like it more. Let people like the things they like :P I'm really not sure this needed a blog post.

Why not?

#10The pipe operator seems silly until you learn to pipe into IO.inspect. for vscoders I use this snippet (https://slickb.it/bits/70) which also labels with the line numbers, meaning you can multiline select a bunch of lines in your pipeline and when you're done ninja them out with another multiline select (usually line numbers have the same number of characters around each other). In combination with triggering single tests, it's invaluable for isolating errors in code.

I suppose the problem with this snippet is that it keeps you from using more powerful tools like tracer and recon.
