I'm still fighting with Elixir and losing - for some reason I can't get my head around all the slightly different ways to initialise stuff.

Do you mean config and runtime variables etc (i.e. in Phoenix)?

"slightly different ways to initialise stuff."

can you elaborate? theres only what 11 datatypes in elixir?

Perhaps they are referring to the syntactic sugar around keyword lists?

[a: 1, b: 2] == [{:a, 1}, {:b, 2}]

Or maybe atom vs string keys in maps?

%{a: 1} vs %{"b" => 1}

Or keyword lists always needing to come last in lists?

[some: :value, :another] # error

[:another, some: :value] # valid

Or maybe something else entirely. Those are just things I remember having to lookup repeatedly when I was first learning elixir.

		These are the ones. I just can't remember them.
