    For those of you who are interested by Elixir but find the lack of static typing an issue here are somethings to be aware of:

    1. Static Typing is planned and currently the top priority of the team

    https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2022/10/05/my-future-with-elixi...

    2. There is a type checking tool

    3. You can go a long way with pattern matching and guides in the meantime and have alot more guarantees that a typical dynamic typed language.

    There's the combo typespecs, dialyzer and dialixyr, with heavy emphasis on "optional". It's polarizing and imperfect and currently the best we've got. Many community hex packages including some of the ones you're interested in don't really make use of them, which reduces some of the utility.

    The thing with Elixir's Protocols is that it is not currently possible to express that some type does support our Greet.greet for Elixir's type checker. But, this is not a big deal for Elixir, which is 100% dynamically typed.
