Nice to see that I'm not the only one - lasted 9 months trying to adapt to Elixir and couldn't. My background is Scala/Rust with heavy use of effect systems and reliance on writing the types out and then solving the puzzle of how to make everything fit. The tooling is pretty poor due to lack of investment compared to some of the other languages, and the debugging story is not great either. But hey, it works for some.

I found the tooling to be quite nice. In my opinion, it’s better or equivalent to most popular languages (python, ruby). It’s definitely not full-on bumper rails/training wheels like a Microsoft IDE, but it’s obvious they’ve invested heavily in tooling early on.

same here, mate. though mine is haskell. I'd rather waiting for gleam to mature enough to mess around with it than to be miserable with the dynamics of the data. I just don't like to guess stuff down the line.
