I guess elixir is a nice lang for the niche of erlang. But its dynamic (the "type system" is really meh at best) its not suited for real world use. If i go full dynamic, why not use pure erlang instead?

Have you tried it since the new type system rolled out?

No mention of AI and LLM in the front page. Life is good.

But I bet the landing page was made with AI assistance.

It feels less sloppy than most obviously AI generated landing pages.

The only sloppy aspects that stand out to me are the needless animations/transitions.

There’s no obvious way to switch to normal (aka “light”) mode. Dark mode is very difficult for some people (me included) to read. If you must default to dark mode that’s your choice but I’d love to see a light mode toggle somewhere prominent.

Yeah. You'll notice that there's a mix of light and dark. Some segments are light-on-dark, then it switches to dark-on-light. It appears to me like a "design trend" that's at odds with accessibility. https://www.apple.com does this too.

I prefer https://jank-lang.org/ new re-design, and the approach of a more step-wise refinement.

How is this language related to Elixir? Or are you just commenting that another language has a website?

They had a recent re-design last week.
