@rhcarvalho Hey Rodolfo 👋 Appreciate you give it a look! > did you work on Papercups or only studied from the outside? Haha, no I have no affiliations with Papercups. I had one side gig a few months ago where I needed to think about embedded chat functionality. Papercups gave me a great example of that functionality to learn from. So I decided to dive deeper and review the whole project and codebase as a part of some series I’m doing around reviewing different open source applications and their architectures. I would say that, besides the article itself, the biggest thing I have discovered is Elixir. Before the overview, I had absolutely zero Elixir experience and had to ramp up as I was working on the review. Elixir turned out to be very elegant and readable language. It’s absolutely amazing how much Elixir/Phoenix can give you with so little effort. I have not seen that before with my prior experience in Python, Golang, Rust, JS/TS (JS ecosystem might be the closest I have seen to this but still it’s not the same). --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.elixirforum.com/t/elixir-blog-posts/150)._
