If you type a lot for a work, spending the time and money for better tooling is not only healthy but should be encouraged. Unhealthy, is when you try to track down an after market Key Cult for $2,000 and spend $500 on switches because you feel like you have to try them all.

For those of you who are interested by Elixir but find the lack of static typing an issue here are somethings to be aware of:
1. Static Typing is planned and currently the top priority of the team

2. There is a type checking tool

3. You can go a long way with pattern matching and guides in the meantime and have alot more guarantees that a typical dynamic typed language.
I do like me some static typing but it took me a while to realize that the guards and pattern matching provides runtime guarantees and not just compile time guarantees.

Feels more like a Lisa moment than an IPhone moment.
You're not missing anything if you can and don't mind building a framework of tools that run long running processes, handle the start up, failure and state of those processes and be able to introspect the status and internal state of those processes in a standard way.
The way isolated processes can be created and managed allows for the "let it crash" ideology in Erlang. For example, when you visit a Phoenix Framework site, you have your own process. If I was visiting the same site and encountered a state that crashed my process your process would be unaffected. The "exception" would only affect me until you ran into the same state that caused the crashed.
If I reported the crash to the developer, the developer could fix the bug and soft start the entire application without affecting your process. This isn't possible because of the language per se but really because of the entire Erlang ecosystem around fault tolerance.

I got stuck at init
Overall effort was a few days of agentic vibe-coding over a period of about 3 weeks. Would have been faster, but the parallel agents burn though tokens extremely quickly and hit Max plan limits in under an hour.
