The importance of understanding datatypes
In this chapter, we’ll look at Elixir’s implementation of the foundational datatypes. You may be primed to get to the functions or the OTP, but let’s take a moment to talk about these building blocks.
In Elixir, the data is the good stuff. If you have worked with functional languages before, you know that ...
