Obsession with line length and hideous formatting (am I writing elixir wrong?)

The standard I’ve started to stick to is to only match in the function head on the minimum amount necessary to make that function body applicable to the given arguments. Everything else can be destructured in the function body.

Here, I’m just curious about something. I wonder wether there is a performance gain between getting “sub-parameters” in a function head instead of doing it inside its body.

And more specifically:

a = param.a
b = param.b

vs

%{a: a, b: b} = param

Well this is not really about the head or the body of the function…

The formatter is something that I have a bittersweet feeling about and it’s perhaps the tool that I least like in the ecosystem. It’s great to keep a codebase consistent across teams if you don’t really want to think about it.

Exactly when we are working with other people, I think we have to follow the same rules in formating the code.
