Elixir Blog Post: Finitomata :: The Proper FSM for Elixir
Blogged about the motivation and reasoning behind my idea to create yet another FSM library. Long story short: I did it in a proper way

Ouch, indeed. Great one! I googled and grepped hex.pm but somehow failed to nail it down. Two independent solutions so similar is a hint it’s a proper approach.
There is one significant difference, though. The definition made of PlantUML allows a no-cost visualization, after I’ve done Make embedded FSM description visible in VSCode · Issue #2 · am-kantox/finitomata · GitHub, the diagram would be transparently visible in VSCode, and the mix task to generate the diagram will also be available soon.
Also, by hiding all the OTP stuff under the hood and exposing callbacks only, I hope I made it more beginners-friendly.

very interesting. the example at the end could be a bit more ‘real world’ as i’ve only heard about FSM used in games. What do you use it for?
I wanted something, that is error-prone and easy to grasp.
You probably wanted to say “not error-prone”?
