Interestingly enough, I find myself rarely using regex with Elixir. Thanks to erlang's excellent pattern matching syntax for binary.

Regex should be kept to a minimum in an API because it is a known DOS attack vector. Sounds a bit worrying if they also have parameters that affect execution time.

Love the fact that they got the PR through in 10 minutes. Jose Valim is genuinely one of the warmest and most welcoming language BDFLs I've ever seen, and I don't believe Elixir would be as great without him.

He's helped me several times in the #elixir freenode channel as well. And of course their elixir books are a godsend.

As someone who loves Elixir, but is bad at it, which books are you referring to? I will buy them instantly.

Elixir in Action is pretty good
