Elixir (and Phoenix) are truly amazing. I only wish there was a typesystem / spec system better (stricter) than Dialyzer. Or perhaps I am doing something wrong but I couldn't get it to be as strict - if there is a way i'd love for `credo` to force me to adhere to it.



its unfortunate that elixir's type system isn't too strict. That said, if you want somethign stricter, there is gleam (https://gleam.run/) which has interop with elixir. I haven't tried it myself yet but you could probably embed a service in gleam for specific cases where you need the stricter type checking.


Yep, I've seen Gleam and I absolutely love the idea, although it seems like its super early stage still.

Should play with it a bit more.
