learned elixir in a week for an interview. didn’t clear it, but that week changed how i write code. understood state isolation for the first time. no shared data. fail and restart clean. pattern matching everywhere. structs over classes. pipes for everything. after that, i started writing code topdown. move sideeffects out. keep logic close to the data. elixir kinda rewired that for me.

after seeing this i saw that same mindset. not flashing any big genservers. simplified with fast procs, raw ETS tables. simple flow, but still fault aware. still clean.
