I have seen this attitude before in people who are just learning elixir, fussing over micro things that map to things they know from other languages.
My advice is: don’t worry about it! Write the most straightforward, obvious code you can, and go back to make it faster later if you need to. Always heed the words of Saint Joe:
“Make it work, then make it beautiful, then if you really, really have to, make it fast. 90 percent of the time, if you make it beautiful, it will already be fast. So really, just make it beautiful!”
