I'm a barewords fan, but even I don't understand the hate towards the dot.

Honestly, it feels like low level fruit ripe for baiting engagement.

Sure it would be cool if it wasn't there, but does it really materially change anything?

I like barewords in Ruby but they don't hold the same value for me in Elixir. In Ruby I was trying to write code in a way where it didn't matter all that much where stuff was coming from. In Elixir I want to know exactly where stuff is coming from and what it is (like how we generally don't `import Enum` or the like).

Not to say you shouldn't like barewords! It is nice that Elixir enables that possibility for those who want it!

I feel this same way now. Although it's been a few years growing on me
