In this case it seems very clear cut, the Russian army invaded and attacked the civilian populace.

This is really amazing, and will make wiring up some of these models together much easier I think. Elixir is making great strides in being a fantastic choice for ML

In the Elixir kernel, defmacro is defined by calling the defmacro macro about itself

I’m just gonna say this - Elixir flat out does not need strong typing. People who think it does, need to learn how to use structs, guards & change sets properly. 99.9% of the time we are interested in “Accounts” or “widgets”, if it’s important enough to be in your domain model you can spend 2 minutes creating a struct for it, boom no need of types. I realize some very smart people work on Gleam and such, and I don’t really want to claim I know more than them, but seriously I think if you find yourself reaching for types in Elixir you just don’t grok that it’s a high-level language and types will only get in the way! Stop thinking like a C/python/JS programmer, start thinking like a prolog/lisp programmer!! We want to get
away
from worrying about ints vs floats and deal with high-level constructs that match our domain model, NOT regress into strict typing.
