Erlang/OTP 24 Highlights

• Elixir

  47 20,388 9.8 Elixir

  Elixir is a dynamic, functional language designed for building scalable and maintainable applications

  

  FWIW, I recently pushed a commit to master that made loading of Elixir's test suite 33% faster (from 15s to 10s): https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/commit/2eb03e4a314c0e6...

  Unfortunately, it is a bit too large (and too late) for v1.12, but if loading times have been problematic for you, it would be awesome if you could try master out and let us know in the issues tracker (or in the commit) if you see any improvements.

• Norm

  1 655 2.9 Elixir

  Data specification and generation

  

  I generally verify types only at the boundaries of my application (or very critical modules) using norm[1].

  Either you have a strict type system that does not have an "any" type (yes, I'm looking at you Typescript), or you have a flexible type system like Python/Erlang/Elixir and you do runtime type checking whenever it's needed.

  I'm writing more Typescript code than I would in Javascript for almost no type safety benefits (but for documentation, it's awesome).
