I was kidding about Elixir, anyhow. Last time I did any real coding was in the '90s. I did some TMS320 assembly in the '80s, used Turbo Pascal at home, and poked around some other things like Forth (and a derivative, Fifth). I took a course in Ada (because reasons), but thankfully never needed to use it for anything. Ugh. And then in the '90s, worked for a while on a telco infrastructure project. It was mostly in C, good old K&R C, on an i960 ... cross compiled from a Sun network running Solaris. I maintained a make file for the project. Little sed and awk one-liner scripts needed maintenance now and again.

I sort of imagine Elixir to be like that MMI ("Man Machine Interface") interpreter the telco project was building. Unreadable, unwriteable, but the old telco guys could speed-type it..

Since 2000, I got promoted up way past my competence level, and shuffled papers until retirement a few years ago.
