i’ve recently gotten annoyed at having to jump between files just to check what that function i’m using will return. VS Code could be of help by using @spec, but frankly that too is pretty dense to read.
i would like this Elixir syntax
%MyStruct{} = my_var = Module.some_function()
to be easily readable like this
MyStruct my_var = Module.some_function()
this is just a readability thing. imagining a large function full of this kind of rows i’d much prefer tha latter syntax. it should reduce load on memory by a lot.
before i jump in to learn macros just to create this thing, i thought i’d ask you guys - is this approach a bad idea? is there something out there already? is there a better approach completely?
