When I found anew statically typed languages (at least for me, I started with them ~13y ago) like for example Rust or Elm (just examples), I was really, really hard asking myself why would I ever go back to dynamically typed languages. And what really is keeping my with Elixir (aside from community etc.) is how easily you can write truly concurrent and fault tolerant software.
What does really helps me write in Elixir is Dialyzer dialyzer — OTP 29.0.2 (dialyzer 6.0.1) and to some extent Dialyxir GitHub - jeremyjh/dialyxir: Mix tasks to simplify use of Dialyzer in Elixir projects. · GitHub Because even when I don’t write @specs it’s often smart enough to show flaws with my code only basing it on context.
Although Dialyzer won’t find that you have non existing module name in your path definition get("/hello", IdontExist, :index) i still think that mentioning about Dialyzer might help you with some problems you may ecounter.
