[Erlang Forums] [Erlang/OTP Proposals/Proposals: RFC] Re-visiting EEP-0055

[Stanislav Ledenev]

There were multiple arguments from a bunch of people.
The principle of the main one is "Render unto Caesar the things that are
Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's".
 If you like Elixir no one objects on this. Just leave Erlang alone.

But you just could not or don't want to listen.
Perhaps because you are a fanboy not an engineer if you can't see such
simple arguments.
And It's pointless to argue to argue with fanboys.
