That is incredibly awesome and noble of them.

That does not mean it becomes the benchmark for everybody.

There is development joy found in both, but Elixir and the underlying erlang definitely has it's own idioms.

You can know enough to get going quickly, but there's a healthy layer of power that will only come with time.

Strong disagree.

Elixir has been my primary language since 2016 because it makes concurrency so easy.

I'm also a little confused how it's not functional enough for you.

They touched on such ideas in Nic Cage's movie 'Pig'.

It was a surprisingly decent flick.

A school teacher might explain it to be "The Frickin Article".

Sounds a lot like erlang.

Elixir has been my daily driver since 2016; still loving it.

All of my comments have focused on how Apple is not above promotion by default.

My use of the word 'hunting' was very casual and completely secondary.

I would take the over on 50% of people seeing it.

Apple sends notifications for those news stories on your Today screen ;)

I agree, removing it was easy enough.

My contention is that Apple is not above using your screen real estate for promotion by default.

OK, but it's still an attention grab that's there by default?

English is not a foreign language in Canada.

The rest of Canada goes to great lengths to provide bilingual support.

It's awful to see English being systematically demonized in Canada.

I'm not sure Apple deserves that much benefit of the doubt.

I've found myself hunting through iOS settings to hide News on that slide screen to the left.

It was definitely put there by Apple and I'm confident they were paid to put it there by those chasing advertising dollars.
