Hi!
Thanks for the comment, it's not the first time I read this feedback. Perhaps it was a misplay: I wanted to make the first article as accessible and short as possible so I chose something that already exists in Elixir and tried to point out the fact that this generalizes over what you can do with with in Elixir. But I definitely should have also included stuff that goes further.
Will definitely try to do something more awesome next time, sorry!
