Pattern matching makes up for the lack of static typing to me. It provides nearly all the same benefits especially when used with guard clauses.
You can also peek inside objects and check for types and values of nested properties. In other languages you’d need to create composite types or even duplicate or extend types. In Elixir, all that is for free. I see that as much more powerful than types.

Yes, I am very much biased in favor of the the middle eastern state that has a democratic constitution, doesn't kill gays and offers the highest level of equal opportunities for all their citizens, no matter their gender or religion. I don't like many of their current policies, but the race between Mullahs, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis etc. on one side and Israel on the other side... it's not even close. It's a couple of centuries between them.
You been watching beat too much western media

By 2025 Iran had already been known to sponsor the acts of war the Houthis are performing against Israel.
Hey, how many people has Iran killed versus Israel in the last 20 years. Waiting for reply. Let’s see who the real terrorist is - my guess is you’re not going to pick the state that’s committing genocide. You’re gonna pick Iran because, frankly, Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hate has been normalized.
Also, by your distorted rationale, given that the US has committed the most acts of terrorism in the world over the last 50 years, do you think it's OK if a random country (let's say, China) to bomb them as being sponsors of terror in Nicaragua, Chile, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, East Timor, Vietnam, Guam, etc etc? I'm guessing, no, right? But you're very comfortable with Iran being bombed. What does that say about your biases?

I think Netanyahu belongs in prison, and Trump, the less said the better, but: couldn't have happened to a nicer unauthorized weapons-grade uranium enrichment facility dug into the side of a mountain hours outside of population centers.
If you haven't already, I highly recommend reading up on the GBU-57 "bunker buster" bomb, because it is some Merrie Melodies Acme brand munitions. It's deliberately as heavy as they can make a bomb, not with explosives but just with mass. They should have shaped it like a giant piano.
Nice justification of illegal bombing. On point with Western values and racist attitudes.

Re-read my comment please because it appears you did not.
I think maybe you shouldn't see Muslims as a homogenous block of people with the same taste by saying stuff like "90 million" as if you know what they want.
Your premise of Israel not targeting civilians is not serious. Just turn a TV channel on that isn't US mainstream media (which is actively manipulating to you).

> Why are you assuming that Iran wants to destroy Israel? Everything I’ve actually seen is the complete opposite: it’s Israel that clearly wants to destroy Israel.
Even by your own logic, do you believe that having a country threaten your existence is not reason enough to want them destroyed?
This whole “threaten your existence” is a clutch in your argument. It smells like “but Hamas…” and tries to create a precondition of condemnation of one side which also happens to be the victim.

It seems fairly clear that Israel is targeting military sites and not civilians. On this basis alone would should feel hopeful for the 90 million innocent people who long for freedom from their oppressors. Your comment seems to imply that Israel is attacking civilians, and that those civilians are aligned with the theocratic dictators. On both points, you would be entirely incorrect.
Are you seriously suggesting that Israel doesn’t target civilians? Are you following the events of the last 2 years?

Rhetoric aside. What was the actual record of violence when Hitler published „My Struggle“ in 1925, laying out his ideas of solving the „Jewish question“? Why should one believe the evil of it lays out its plans way in advance?
By 1925 the Beer Hall Putsch had already happened and Hitler was in jail for high treason.
Having said that, I don't think an editor should be VC backed. It's the obvious pragmatic choice to get a team together to support a thing, but I'm concerned by it.
