I get the sense that the author resents the popularity of Elixir on some level. Personally I appreciate that it removes boilerplate from Erlang and has a real macro system. I’m not picky about syntax in general but when verbosity can be eliminated I think it’s almost always a good idea.

As for his opinion on the pipe operator, I have to wonder what he thinks of do-notation and point free style in Haskell, let alone APL and its ilk.
