       Maybe I am wrong but my perception is if you are dealing with really dirty data then a lot of the benefits of Elixir are removed

       @Moon@shitposter.club pattern matching is especially nice with potentially degraded data, it's one of things that make me really want to use it for things like xmpp parsing

       @bjc i guess that's true. I was thinking of the "with", whenever I deal with one I have some exception that makes me not able to use it.

       @Moon@shitposter.club @bjc@tines.spork.org honestly with is probably like the worst built in macro

       @Moon simple solution: embrace tradition, use erlang

       @shibao @bjc I'm still gonna learn it I just need the thing that makes me say "OK this is perfect for it"

       @Moon@shitposter.club @bjc@tines.spork.org the thing that it's perfect for is are 2 element status tuples, which are a pretty ingrained elixir and erlang convention (there's even optimizations in the compiler specifically for this) but otherwise it's a bit clumsy to use

       @Moon ironically, i think this is where it shines mostit's incredibly easy to fix data with pattern matching and all of that in Elixir, to me

       @Moon the main benefit of elixir is the otp and its crash reistance. dirty data arguably makes that more important
