I'm still fighting with Elixir and losing - for some reason I can't get my head around all the slightly different ways to initialise stuff.

"slightly different ways to initialise stuff."

can you elaborate? theres only what 11 datatypes in elixir?

[buzzerbetrayed]

Perhaps they are referring to the syntactic sugar around keyword lists?

[a: 1, b: 2] == [{:a, 1}, {:b, 2}]

Or maybe atom vs string keys in maps?

%{a: 1} vs %{"b" => 1}

Or keyword lists always needing to come last in lists?

[some: :value, :another] # error

[:another, some: :value] # valid

Or maybe something else entirely. Those are just things I remember having to lookup repeatedly when I was first learning elixir.

[NordStreamYacht]

These are the ones. I just can't remember them.

[dnautics]

completely reasonable. eventually you internalize them, and the rules aren't that bad and are consistent.

Do you mean config and runtime variables etc (i.e. in Phoenix)?
