Benefits of elixir other than OTP

From another perspective, the developer conveniences are great! I’ve been using VS Code and the intellisense I get from Elixir + Code is amazing because it’s a compiled language.

Examples: https://cl.ly/lclg, https://cl.ly/ldFW

Also, I get a lot of value out of documentation being a first class citizen in Elixir. I’ve been trying to write at least some documentation for every public function that I write in this app I’m working on and the benefits are two fold - 1) the autocomplete/intellisense I get out of Code saves me a ton of time and trying to remember, and 2) onboarding new developers is much much easier because I can use exdoc to build an easy to use and searchable site for my app.
