I've spent two months researching #functionalprogramming and how it applies to #elixirlang. Here are my thoughts on "best practices" for Elixir developers to make your code easy to reason about, debug, test and even run in parallel 🚀

(2/10) Don't put *any* logic inside the controllers or GenServers. It will make your code hard to test, difficult to understand and most likely, you will duplicate a lot of it - a bad idea all around.
(3/10) Separate as much of the code into pure functions and leave the "dirty" code(including side effects) in the limited public functions(it's OK to call subfunctions causing side effects). The key here is that "preparation" of data/for side effects can most of the time be pure
After some time away after writing Seven More Languages, I spent some time with @JeffBezanson, a co-creator of @JuliaLanguage and could immediately see some of the reasons the language was successful.

The team has a firm grasp on what it takes to make a language successful, especially understanding the core audience. It's here where #JuliaLang shines. Here are four things that @JeffBezanson, @Viral_B_Shah, @StefanKarpinski, and @JuliaComputing (Alan Edelman) got right:
Julia embraces functional concepts, but not slavishly. Functions are familiar to scientists, but technical computing requires mutability. Julia libraries allow idiomatic math in many spots, and also performant imperative code. @JeffBezanson: "Good programs are 80% functional."

Elixir is towards the top of the most love #programminglanguages! Taking eighth place in the @StackOverflow #devsurvey2019! 💕
Congrats to @elixirlang and the entire community! Can you feel the love...?

How can one #programminglanguage simultaneously rank on the most loved and most dreaded lists?! 😂 Hands up if you love #Erlang's duality! 🙌
