Sorry for not adding more. But just so this. I’ve loved learning Elixir of late. But my programs need state. I really miss how well I could model general state using objects like those afforded by Smalltalk and Python. I wish there was a best of both worlds, but I wonder if to do one well, you have to overreach so much with the one philosophy, that the other just can’t be tolerated well in its presence.

But agents and genservers are a good way of dealing with state.
