That's what I would suggest as well. WSL2 and use asdf[1] to manage the erlang/elixir versions.

> If you configure it well (the defaults are not always optimal) you can have your invisible mesh of services survive extended outages of the 3rd party APIs it depends on.
This is something that annoyed me a bit with OTP. The basic strategies aren't really enough for that, so you need something like https://github.com/jlouis/fuse
I wrote something like that myself, but it hasn't seen a ton of use: https://github.com/davidw/hardcore

what would prevent you from using datomic with elixir? https://github.com/edubkendo/datomex
there are other datalog-y tools as well, ie https://github.com/naomijub/translixir

If you're a fan of the ecosystem, but not of dynamic types, there are statically typed languages on BEAM, eg Gleam (https://gleam.run/)
Yes, it’s a bit of a magic argument, but it’s the only unhygienic variable introduced with a Plug dispatch:
https://github.com/elixir-plug/plug/blob/main/lib/plug/route...
Everything else is explicitly passed, AFAICT.
I haven’t used commanded, exmachina, or ash:
- Tesla has a mode which can be used completely without macros, and I am increasingly encouraging that it be the only way that it is used. So does the author (as of 2020): https://github.com/elixir-tesla/tesla/issues/367#issuecommen...
There is also `req` mentioned in a recent post as an alternative (it looks good, but I am still playing with it to see if it is a suitable replacement for Tesla in all cases).
- Absinthe is something of a compiler itself, because it has to strictly define things the way that is specified in the GraphQL spec. You can now import an SDL file, but you still need to hook resolvers and middleware into it. Honestly, I don’t think that the schema definitions in JS/TS are much better for GraphQL in terms of readability.
Being heavily macro-based means that there are sharp edges that are harder to work around when you want to add your own macros for code reuse purposes. That said, aside from the schema definition, Absinthe is entirely usable without macros. Within the schema definition, Absinthe isn’t making anything up, it’s using the same basic definitions that the GraphQL spec do, adapted for Elixir syntax.
Exmachina didn’t interest me because I don’t think much of factory_bot (which used to be called factory_girl), as I saw it abused far more than used well (IMO, it’s impossible to use correctly). Ash…looks like an interesting experiment, but I don’t know that there’s a lot of pick-up with it compared to Phoenix. And I have yet to find a use for CQRS/ES, so there’s no reason for me to play with commanded. I certainly wouldn’t consider any of these three to be "major" players in Elixir. Tesla and Absinthe? Yes.

Also see the definition for `defmacro`, the macro for defining macros, which is defined using... defmacro

You're correct.
It says at the bottom: powered by https://github.com/jgm/gitit
Readme states that: "Gitit is a wiki program written in Haskell. It uses Happstack for the web server and pandoc for markup processing."
No style attributes. You just use HTML markup and use a classless CSS framework to take care of making it look nice. My favorite is Marx, but there are others you can find here: https://github.com/dbohdan/classless-css
Water.css, MVP.css, sakura, and Tacit are among the most popular.
