On: Elixir v0.5.0 released

What didn't you like about it? I remember hating the syntax when I first start but forgot why.

After I worked through the initial aversion, the syntax no longer feels worse than say, Python, it is just different. In fact, I wouldn't give up Erlang's pattern matching functionality for anything and I miss that feature in any other language I use.

The one thing that really bothers me about its syntax is all the different line terminators. It makes moving around patterns painful.

I sort of dislike other aspects too, but nowhere near as much.
