I would be quite interested in an article about your text editor setup and usage.
It looks really good. Everything I found online is basically just an introduction. I would like to see something more in-depth and realistic.

This article is all about showing the live demo of Elixir Releases, a brand new mix task
mix release.
#Do
- Reverse the list first
- Add element at the front
- Reverse the list again
Iām pretty sure, this is never what you want, as this will build even more garbage into memory.
Appending rarely and only a single item is fine, but if you build a list step by step, then you should build it by pretending and reversing at the end.
Yeah. I need to mention the cases there. Like you said adding a single element or building the list. Two scenarios. I will update that thanks.

Why Guards in Elixir Fail to Serve sometimes?
The functional firewalls (Guards) can be penetrated if you donāt know how the comparison works in elixir.
Here, I took an example to demonstrate. Itās a known topic, yet to know bit deeper.

WOW, WTF⦠Does this behavior even makes sense???
I cannot think in the moment of anything that makes it logical.
The reason we can compare different data types is pragmatism. Sorting algorithms donāt need to worry about different data types in order to sort.
from Official docs.
https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/1.6.3/operators.html#term-ordering
I saw it from your article, but still does not make any sense to me⦠itās just unnatural, not intuitive, does not make sense that when comparing a number that a thing that is not a number can be compared⦠itās just bad design in my opinion.
But this is, what makes it possible to have sorted lists, regardless of what types the elements are.
In my opinion is not worth the trade-offā¦
I will not play Russian roulette just because I can get a fortune if the gun chamber is empty.
Yeah! Lists are compared element by element. List can have element of type any(). So we need something that compares types. Some kinda standard comparions rule.
It is not russian roulette, it is well documented behaviour.
3. chapter of the guides (https://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/basic-operators.html) and also in the hexdocs, its in the āOperatorsā page: https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/operators.html#term-ordering
No matter if is documented or not is not intuitive to have this behavior at all.
I have not got it when I read it the first time I was learning Elixir and I bet that lot more like me exist out there and will be bitten by this in production.
