Thanks for the hard work everyone who contributed to this ecosystem, from someone who just wishes to focus on applying the tech to build shit and solve problems in this space.

Been standing on the sholders of much of this for a while now from prototyping in livebook and for various ML/LLM backed prod projects with things like self hosting embedding models (thanks to NX + bumblebee + OS Models from ) and using meta fais for vector storage neatly via elixirs solid native bindings story, to generally elixir being great for streaming output from LLMs or building more complex agents on top of them using the process model / OTP.

I agree, or a nice `with` clause.

When strict simplicity is not the ultimately goal dare I say leaning into the monads is the way...

I wish they didn't tbh, it makes me sad.

Not allowing rebinding does provide a little bit of encouragement towards factoring things better, but I have seen manys a `X1` `X2` in my time :(

Sounds like a good old foldl may or may not have brightened up your day (with the "functional style" you mentioned) e.g.

  Pipeline = fun(Functions, Initial) ->
    lists:foldl(
      fun(Function, Acc) ->
        Function(Acc)
      end,
      Initial,
      Functions
    ),
  Initial = SomeFunc(),
  Pipeline = [Func0, Func1, Func2, Func3],
  Result = Pipeline(Pipeline, Initial).

At a certain point I grew to not mind the punctuations `; , .`

I often miss language itself given how verbose things are in elixir by comparison.

The language ecosystem is pretty good with LFE for the Lispers https://lfe.io/ and https://gleam.run/ for the OCaml inclinded.

I've run plenty of things in AWS Lamba using Erlang FWIW.

It is interesting in as much as the lambda functions stay hot for a period of time.
