I get the appeal, but without strong typing it's a no-go in my book. Get me an elixir with proper types and we can talk.


I believe they have already started this effort. https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2023/06/22/type-system-updates-...


They have but it's mostly a labor of love and it's very difficult to fit a static type system into a dynamically typed language.

We already have some false positives. Happily the team is very motivated and is grinding away at them, for which we the community are forever grateful.


Oh I agree. The Erlang/Elixir ecosystem is in danger of Rust inventing a BEAM-like runtime and making it irrelevant.
