my feelings exactly

elixir has spoiled me. i'm currently looking for work and I am having a hard time accepting work in pretty much any other language, because...

> I never thought I would find a language that naturally avoided almost every short term and long term issue in a code base I’ve come across in my career.

... because OF THIS EXACT THING. And I can't even communicate it to people adequately! Frankly, it took me having to deal with the problems in a million-line Ruby codebase before realizing that Elixir made pretty much every one of them impossible (or at least, much harder to do) from the very roots of its design

Yep, I experienced the same thing. It’s so good it makes the problems of everything else very, very visible.
