I would have preferred for the function to be called mod, since it’s the modulo operation, which in math is represented with a percentage or “mod”. Most programming languages use a percentage because of that, so do a lot of calculators.
Yeah, I agree that Elixir is a fine language for some tasks. I personally find the readability somewhat average, but it’s very maintainable (due to how it enables clear program structure), the error handling is great, and the lightweight process system is amazing.
Personal preference, but elixir just strikes a balance that doesn’t make me feel like I’m reading hieroglyphs so I’m actually happy to see it praised.
