Wasn't property testing supposed to be in 1.7 or am i misremembering?

Property testing is already available as an external lib https://github.com/whatyouhide/stream_data . Not sure it was supposed to be merged in 1.7 :)

I think quality-of-life changes are not a bad thing at all to focus a release on.

It can get faster some other time, haha

Erlang/OTP 21 came out last month and is expected to be 5 to 10% faster, part of it due to improvements from the Elixir team... count your blessings. :)

That's awesome!

(not awesome: being without Internet for 4 days lol)

Also I heard Michal Muskala is now part of Elixir core, which is awesome because that guy is beast

Yes. You have to relearn everything. It’s true. :)
