Switching to a programmig language based on an entirely different programming paradigm is not comparable to switching to a language based on the exact same programming paradigm to develop the exact same application using the exact same design patterns.

I’m completely comfortable with the language coming from Elixir. The problem was the tooling/docs didn’t match the experience.

This was from the official site and many of the commands threw errors.

I think it was a case of incomplete Mac support, which should have been called out.

IIRC I posted on HN about it and got an apology for the state of tooling
