I was thinking about this a year ago & decided on Elixir.

- Kexoth 10y agoYou're right. I've used it once as a part of an exercise in the "Programming Elixir" book and never again. It should maybe come bundled with mix, as some other tools, that way it'll be more approachable. Also there's a wrapper for it, which helps in the process.[0] [0] - https://github.com/jeremyjh/dialyxir https://github.com/jeremyjh/dialyxir
