Can the Ruby people please stop blogging about Elixir and explain things relative to Ruby? There are way too many 'Elixir-for-Ruby-programmers' tutorials on the net already.
Elixir is pretty great and enthusiasm is good but I feel this leaves a large group of people in the dark.
Consider that content can have way more potential to be educational and interesting when crafted with a specific audience in mind. For an Elixir post, that audience need not be "all programmers". I see nothing wrong with the author's approach and would gladly welcome more writing of this style.
Perhaps what you mean to say is that you'd like to see more folks in your own communities writing about Elixir with your relevant needs and perspectives in mind.
Why do they have to stop blogging internet is fairly open you have an option to not read things that are not of interest to you. (BTW. I am not a Ruby developer)
This might be a controversial thing to say, but Ruby would be a pretty obscure language today if it wasn't for Rails.
If you want Elixir to remain obscure as well, keep hoping that it doesn't get picked up by web developers and Rubyists.
I for one want the language to eventually overtake Ruby in popularity (hopefully with Phoenix overtaking Rails). So yeah, the more individuals and communities that adopt it, the better.
I've been writing Elixir for almost a year, and have yet to build a Phoenix app. I did write a Plug hello world app once, just to see if my container was wired up correctly.
