Ugh, probably a thread hijack, but over the years I’ve come to not like wrappers around simple HTTP+JSON APIs.

Case in point, Elasticsearch libraries. They are always out of date, unmaintained or whatever… whereas creating a tiny tiny interface to making HTTP+JSON calls is trivial and never goes out of date.

Yes I agree, there is more onus on the maintainer to, well, maintain! I think there are pros and cons. The pros to me being that if it’s a well maintained library then the Elixir API can be better documented and interop more easily with the rest of the codebase, IMO

Yeah, one of the pros is static analysis (Dialyzer) of Elixir functions. :+1:
