Hello Elixir World (Introductions thread)

Hello Elixir alchemists!

I’m a self-taught programmer from Germany with a background in Javascript.

During my coding journey I stumbled over the hurdle of how to design a program. I came across “How to Design Programs” (https://htdp.org/) and Racket which made me fall in love with functional programming.

I dabbled in Clojure but I find it hard to get productive with it.

On a whim, I took a peek at Elixir and I’m loving it so far. It is more approachable than Clojure.

My other interests include pen & paper roleplaying games, mental models and learning techniques, communication, and language learning (currently learning French).
