Understanding Elixir's Type System

The article by George Arrowsmith aims to dispel some common myths surrounding the Elixir programming language's type system, particularly the confusion between dynamic and static typing, as well as strong and weak typing. Elixir is stated to be a dynamically typed language, which means type checking occurs at runtime. However, it is strongly typed, meaning it doesn't allow implicit type conversion. The author also touches on the community discussions and potential for introducing static typing in Elixir's future. Arrowsmith goes on to argue against the notion that dynamic typing is a hindrance, promoting the benefits of Elixir's current system and urging to understand it properly before critiquing it.
