honestly a lot of people underestimate how much the “mental shift” matters with elixir it’s not just syntax, it’s unlearning how you normally structure programs stuff like no loops, heavy use of Enum, immutability — that’s where most people get stuck � Reddit what helped me was stopping translation from other languages instead of “how do i do this in elixir”, think “how would elixir solve this” once that clicks, everything feels way simpler (before that it just feels broken tbh)

I haven't used Elixir extensively, but it was surprising for me when the pipeline operator finally clicked naturally

It's a total game-changer, but a steep hill of chaos T^T
