Is Erlang an albatross to Elixir adoption?
+1 to the struct thing and very interested in your thoughts! I've personally taken to using protobufs instead with the excellent https://github.com/elixir-protobuf/protobuf library. They work beautifully but are obviously a lot more heavy weight. It would be nice to have more ergonomic native structs.

Help With Protobuf in Kafka
I am roughly 3 weeks into working with Elixir and so far it has been pretty good! I currently am working in a system that has a couple of Golang services running as producers and consumers within a Kafka cluster. I've been working with the Kafka_ex library and have been able to get messages and create topics. It was decided that messages being sent through Kafka would be in Protobuf format, so I've started to use this protobuf library to handle converting into structs.
