"Writing Elixir and Phoenix code to manipulate MIDI in real time
Expand my Halloween project of multiple Raspberry Pi’s, Arduino, pneumatics, audio and effects to a full-blown Elixir/Phoenix/OTP demonstration.
Revise my book Pragmatic Thinking & Learning
Maybe a top-secret project or two.."
I wrote C to get through school. I wrote PHP to hack CRUD web apps. I write JS because it's ubiquitous and I'm required to. I write Elixir because I love to do it.
I learned a bit of Erlang first, and never really found a taste for Elixir's syntax. Can't say that I've really used it beyond tinkering though.
I think anybody coming from any C inspired language would take Elixir over Erlang imo. Sure Erlang is a small language but the hump is much higher to get over the syntax than in Elixir.
