Half of hn posts are people showing off things where they spent a herculean amount of effort reinventing something that elixir/erlang has had solved 30+ years already.



Some are even proud of their ignorance and belittle Erlang and Elixir.


I'm fine with it.

If people want to belittle something, either we aren't trying to solve the same problem (sure) or they're actively turning people away from what could be a serious advantage (more for me!)

If the cost of switching wasn't so high, I'd love to write Elixir all day. It's a joy.
