Style Question: what do we call idiomatic Elixir?
Note: this question is ported over from the official elixir repo, where I was informed not to post this type of question there. Apologies to anyone seeing it twice. Also, Jose Valim did take the time to comment before closing the issue, but I’m curious as to the feeling of the community as a whole.
I’m coming from the Python world, where we typically call idiomatic Python pythonic. If you’re describing doing something in a way that is conceptually correct and falls within the guidelines for the Zen of Python you would say that it is pythonic. Is there an established term for idiomatic elixir? If not, should there be?
(bad) examples:
- Hermetic
- Alchemic
- Fluidic
- Etc
Is this something that the community would even want, or is it not really important?

I’ve seen most people say “idiomatic Elixir”.
Let just wait for some word to appear from nowhere and use it

I think Idiomatic Elixir is fine, Fluidic would be a cool name for some Elixir project though
