Slightly OT (though I do really like Elixir: I used to work with José and he’s a goddamned visionary): TypeScript just hits it out of the park here. With arguably harder erasure constraints than either Java or C# the covariance and contravariance bounds and ergonomics are so much more intuitive than either. The MSR brain trust is clearly keeping their eye on the ball.

Elixir looks to be one of few languages that is never going to sit still on absorbing the best ideas. At the risk of repetition, no one would expect less from the person who’s passion created it.
