Yep I love Elixir too. Just, you know, I try to only sip the kool-aid.
Well, I am just now arguing with people in another thread that nobody claims that Elixir is an end-all be-all.
It's quite sad how fiercely the average HN audience is attacking people who are trying to show an alternative way of doing things.
Definitely. I was about to ask "but when did you actually need to compose actors and how does that even make sense?" -- and while I am sure there are people who would find a scenario I feel that would still be tarrying on minutiae.
Obviously the actor model is not a panacea. But for my commercial work Elixir -- and thus Erlang's OTP -- has been a true blessing. There aren't many commercial scenarios where OTP is a very poor fit. They do exist but I'd dare saying they are no more than 10-15% of everything you can stumble upon out there.
