Elixir Is Erlang, not Ruby

If you're willing to be patient, I think that in the next year Elixir is going to get an add-in aggressive static typing library (better than dialyzer) enabled by compiler hooks. It's going to happen, and it's going to be very good.

Do you have more info about this? It does sound promising.

I'm very very Sorry I should have been less emphatic, less flippant. This is an unsubstantiated prediction based on what elixirc hooks will enable and what the community wants, but the momentum has swung to the point where I think it's inevitable and the timeframe is correct, +/- 6 months.

That said, I'm also playing around to try to help make this happen: https://github.com/ityonemo/mavis

I suggest that in repentance for dashing my hopes you ensure that this will come true ;).

Aren't there already elixirc hooks which have been in place for a while now? Are there new ones as of recently?
