@lain but why?
@crunklord420 because gitlab got worse
@lain gitlab is megabloat written Ruby (gross). I'd only run it if I absolutely needed CI and there wasn't a better option.
@crunklord420 @lain It used to work pretty well. Then Gitlab Inc. happened.
@crunklord420 @phnt @lain I can name a few RPG Maker VX Ace games (they all use Ruby under the hood for scripting).
@crunklord420 @phnt @mint ruby was a good idea but it's slow
then one of the ruby guys said 'hey, what if we took the good parts of ruby, but it was fast'
thus elixir was born

@lain @crunklord420 @phnt @mint But elixir is built on top of Erlang. It's a BEAM language, not ruby.

@lain @PunishedD @crunklord420 @phnt @mint it's a bug that will never get fixed too (https://joearms.github.io/published/2013-05-31-a-week-with-elixir.html)
@lain @crunklord420 @i @phnt @mint Fun fact, he wrote erl2 during a side project attempting to replace PHP. It's still marked as a "prototype" in Github, 15 years later.
@PunishedD @crunklord420 @phnt @mint how much longer until they can worry about what's merged in pleroma too, then we can deprecate @lain for good
@i @PunishedD @crunklord420 @lain @mint I think I'm more annoyed by the Erlang function call syntax in Elixir than that.
@i @PunishedD @crunklord420 @lain @mint Actually no, what bothers me more is Elixirs formatter being dumb with alignment on things like
```
long_var = fun_with_long_params(%{
param: "asdf"
})
```
It is always two space indentation plus one space, always looks ugly and always unguessable.
