My opinion is the following on this: you don’t like it, you don’t use it, simple as that.
Good for you, the last time there was a discussion on this topic, it was clear that you are potentially breaking internal features of VM with your opinionated optimizations.
Yeah that’s what they were also saying about chips not being able to go smaller than 10 nm about 10 years ago, and here we are at 4 nm and this is just the begging, we will find another way to advance, because this is what humans do.
It is also clear that you are from the academic world, there is a big distinction between making software that makes money and writing “optimized” software that saves a few hundred bucks on hosting but costs a lot more to be maintained and developed. I came to elixir because I care about delivering results, while having a battle-tested fault-tolerant VM and a great language, not because I care that dot syntax has a lag of 100ns.
