I have to say the let it crash mentality, before meeting Elixir I always thought I should avoid crashes make sure that nothing crashes and deal with different crashes all the time.
After meeting Elixir threads finally clicked threads can crash we deal with it and are not afraid of it.
That basically changed my whole view point to threads, they are our friends not our enemy, at least when you know how to use them.
Immutability was great too, but let it crash mentality is the best thing that happened to my coding and made 10 times better in my job.
I think that since I met this forum I only had one instance of singleton problem and that was because ruby duplicate sometimes do weird things.
