What's your background? I've mainly used language with huge standard libraries and Go's intentionally small standard library feels very unergonomic sometimes (I miss sets).

Elixir feels very ergonomic to me, but a lot of programmers struggle with the lack of typing.

I came from JavaScript NodeJS and Python.

I’ve learnt Elixir and it seems like it’s packed with lots of features/patterns.
