Erlex - Convert Erlang style structs and error messages to equivalent Elixir
Erlex
Converts Erlang style structs and error messages to equivalent Elixir.
Useful for pretty printing things like Dialyzer errors and Observer state.
Started by @asummers in 2018, Erlex is a library that helps translate feedback from Erlang into something recognizable to Elixir developers. It a little bit of glue work used in developer tooling like dialyxer (forum post) and assay (forum post) that helps tapping into Erlang’s toolbelt feel more native to the end Elixir programmer.
I took over the project in 2024 when news of @asummers ‘s passing reached the community, to help keep things working. My attention is limited and I have been an imperfect steward, but it only just occurred to me that making it a first-class citizen in the forum that I moderate might help me stay abreast of things better! 
Hence this post.
Please contribute issues and PRs to my fork of the project rather than the original repository, and I’ll announce new releases in this thread, so let me know here as well as on the repo should any problems crop up over time! Thanks to everyone who has helped me update the project since its handoff.
