as somone with 10 years of expirence I cant really judge somone on thier choice of programming language because I started with ti84 basic, x86 assembly, ti84 assembly, c, qbasic.

Im at my point where I just them more based upon the condition of there desk/den then thier programming language of choice.

Tho if i had to chose I would say they are a faggot.

I've been meaning to learn it, just can't think of a project I want to work on right now that would be a cool opportunity to use it.
any anons with experience with elixir (or erlang) have any opinions in favor or against it?

>n-no I meant turing complete AST macros!
The fact I don't have to deal with Erlang code that's impossible to reason about and debug is certainly one of the many reasons that make it a better language. The official documentation of Elixir states it's bad form to use them. And yet, I'm not at all shocked people who like Elixir also don't understand that.

I'll be honest, I've never used either. I just shill it cus of the cool video ad they did way back.

the fact of the matter is that, every once in a while, you can solve a problem using a macro and save many keystrokes over time.

>no you don't understand i need the code to write the code to write the code at compile time
have you considered just writing your desired code as a function directly?

>>104005320
serialize error message strings from your assertion's code without a macro
>he writes error messages
>his error messages do not contain the expanded form of variables used within the assertion

What is there to write for the BEAM that is not backend services that could benefit from it? I would chose that and Phoenix over Python in a heartbeat if I could get paid to write webshits with Elixir but so far it seems a sub-par choice for every other tasks, regardless of how good the language and its tooling are. i know about Nerves

There's active development in numerical elixir ( https://github.com/elixir-nx ) for ML, but it's fairly new.
