The first time I looked at Elixir, I thought it was hideous (I was really into Python and Ruby, and still admire them while liking Elixir much more). But I kept hearing about the virtues of Elixir (and of the BEAM) and coming back. Finally, it clicked, and I’m now in my 3rd year of doing Elixir full-time. I hope to never again use a language that doesn’t have pipes.

The moral of the story? Let’s give this new SQL syntax a chance.
