What can I say. As for me #elixir looks very good 😎 .

I tried #haskell before and It was very hard for me to learn. May be it because of static typing (but I don't know exactly).

Haskell is academic. Elixir is practical.

@orsinium @chickenjoe quite the opposite if we are talking fearless refactoring. Now consider almost anything in software development is a refactoring... Doesn't look so shiny, eh?

@chickenjoe being a huge fan of #Elixir, once I cooked a thing in it really fast indeed, but then requirements changed and it was Pain. In my experience, without sum types and pattern matching, it always is (7 years with PHP, 8 years with Ruby, 15 years of JavaScript, 1 year of Erlang)

With #Haskell, you change the thing that needs to be changed, fix compilation errors and it works off the bat way more often than you could expect coming from mainstream
