by readability hit, I mean both in terms of your code, and in terms of when you’re debugging and inspecting stuff, not to mention if somehow your error logs happen to have erlang formatting instead of elixir formatting… Structs are not pretty in erlang formatting. I guess I feel a better strategy to lift up the meaning of primitive data types is to use good variable names. I once had a project where my linter would reject my code i If I had generic variable names like “value” “result”, “x”, etc. I would like to have a static linter some day that can infer types and will require that certain variables have suffixes, e.g. _id must be a uuid and vice versa.
