The progressive introduction of automated type checking in Elixir should serve as a reference on how to improve a programming language gracefully without breaking changes.
So many examples of programming languages have huge breaking changes between versions that end up creating a split in the ecosystem that takes years to resolve.
Thankfully José has been very clear about Elixir being done since at least 2018. The language is stable and the language/core foundation is not changing anymore.
