It's somewhat common in the context of cooking. A recipe may refer to something as "scratch made" when its "made from scratch".

In this case, its an extension of the phrase but using the word built instead of made.

Correct, a gradual type system is a form of type system and not the method for rolling it out.

Next LS author here! I would love to hear about how your emacs experience went and what your setup/config is. My emacs skills are not the best (zero), so I've not been able to really work through any of the kinks.

I have recently gotten it working tho with vanilla emacs with eglot, as well as doom emacs (again, with eglot).

No pressure!

That's fine, but generally people on use that expression in a negative way, so I think it's reasonable to ask for explanation of why you think that.

In general I don't think it's fair to leave drive by comments like that without elaboration, as others might just see it and take it at face value when further clarification might reveal a misunderstanding.

I have also switched to rtx, and even use it in the Next LS build pipeline as an easy way to install Elixir & OTP.

I wonder if waynesonfire will ever return to elaborate on what the mean exactly by that.

I'm not really sure how 'Not Invented Here' applies to someone building an OSS project.

Re:The elixir-tools Update Vol. 4 on Thursday October 19, 2023 @06:23PM (#37949597)
What?
Re:The elixir-tools Update Vol. 4 on Thursday October 19, 2023 @06:01PM (#37949325)
Well sounds like you came to the right place!

You can get started easily by installing the elixir-tools.vscode extension for VSCode and be off to the races!

The answer to your question is in the FAQ on the website for Next LS in particular, and a motivation for the whole elixir-tools family of projects on the home page

Re:Aspartame is set to be declared a possible carcinogen on Thursday June 29, 2023 @02:29PM (#36524681)
Literally read halfway down the article before they say that "working overnight" is also in the "probably carcinogenic" category and that the organization is known for publishing confusing results that cause panic.

FFS

I interpreted their message as saying Erlang is more functional than Elixir, which didn't really make sense to me personally. (I think they are both the same amount of "functional")
I'm not really following your comment about "more functional style".

Which are you saying is more functional? And why?

I generally default to a comprehension unless it becomes illegible.

Re:uBlock Origin becomes top addon on Firefox on Friday March 11, 2022 @11:06AM (#30641571)
Recently, the uBlock Origin icon in my toolbar has just disappeared and doesn't appear in the overflow menu.

Anyone else see this?
