Type: Discussion

The discussion on the Elixir Forum revolves around the recent announcement by Jose Valim declaring that, as of the 13th anniversary of Elixir's first commit, the language is officially considered gradually typed. The community members have shared various reactions, ranging from excitement about the progress to concerns over potential syntax changes and their impact on readability and the Elixir language's philosophy. The development aims to incorporate type system functionality such as inference of patterns and guards by Elixir v1.17, with the intention to engage the community constructively in refining the approach.
