probably not maps, but structs yes.

I dunno… it’d break a looooot of code if structs were suddenly not also maps. My bet is this becomes a new option you have to manually migrate to.

Would it? I bet you could be very clever with transitional guards and the patching compiler to defensively handle both cases on detection of %{...}

And then Elixir was born!

I swear there's a video of Joe Armstrong et al. presenting part of this on stage and laughing along with it. I tried to find it last week but couldn't figure out which talk it was. A few years ago I think I watched every Erlang/OTP talk in existence.

Is anyone still using Erlang for green field projects? I know there are plenty of Elixir enthusiasts here, I mean plain ol' Erlang. If you are still using Erlang, why do you prefer it to Elixir?

Yes, this year alone - New IOT thing on atomvm. - Application server written in erlang. - TUI framework (still WIP). Why do you prefer it to Elixir: - Elixir doesn't pose any real advantage for me over erlang, i'm sure there may be be some, but it fits my brain easier. I'd probably even love to make it a social event to learn/get help, but I never seem to find anything that suits.

Can you provide some links? The IoT thing sounds interesting in particular.

I dox myself:

IOT basic (I have more sensors uncommited, but thats the basic outline )

My TUI framework (still a long way to go).
