A command-line weather app built using Elixir

I'm excited about this not because I want to use it, but because it is a great example of an Elixir app. I'm in the process of learning Elixir, and it was cool to see someone else's code and be able to make sense of most of it. Thanks for posting this!

I don't know Elixir, but it does some questionable things. For instance, it appears to read and process the entire ascii_chars.txt file for each character in the output. It's not a big file, but it wouldn't be difficult to read it once.

I thought of that but for a starter I didn't want to optimise too much. But still it's a good suggestion and I will apply "boy scout rule" for sure!
