It comes nowhere close, if you are used to programming in languages with static types, the devx is just not on the same level. That being said, pattern matching is very powerful, and gives you a lot of what static types gives you in terms of safety. I’m just to spoiled by the level of productivity I get from editors when using a languages with static types at this point and using elixir full time would feel like taking a step backwards.

By contrast I'd rather not go back to meticulously decorating source files to add types where they aren't needed, so Elixir seems like the perfect language to me.
