One Year of Elixir: How It Compares to Ruby (boredhacking.com)
37 points by clessg on May 6, 2021 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment



Elixir gives me that feeling of fun I had when first learning Ruby, which is a very rare thing and something I cherish. I still love Ruby, but now I love Elixir too :)

The two languages seem to share a common idea, of making it enjoyable, rather than having a lot in common with each other. They're fundamentally different but somehow feel familiar, which is pretty cool.

I really just need to figure out a viable hobby project for Elixir so I have something to play with.
