Elixir v1.20 released: now a gradually typed language

Almost nobody uses it though, which is too bad, especially since multi-head functions sometimes make it difficult to follow the execution path.

I'd like to do step by step but I cannot plug the debugger to VScode from inside a docker container.

No one I know wears the shoes I like to wear, which is too bad, because that means I can't enjoy them as much now.

I meant that it doesn't get much love from the community, it's pretty clear it's not used much, that's why things like `dbg` gets added to the language.

Some do, but the DX was bad last time I tried, I did not find a way to use it with my setup.

I've used it, but I've very rarely needed to do so.
