I really want to love my cast iron, but I just have such a hard time cleaning it - or rather, maybe I'm not supposed to clean it? I'm just so confused with what to do after cooking with it for a meal.
I have found Elixir as a whole to be amazing, but the debugging process to be painful. Maybe its because I'm used to using Chrome's developer tools (since I mostly debug JavaScript), but I really wish that debugging on Elixir could be simpler. Using printf's is just too painful and feels backwards.
As someone who's heard of Nim, can someone who's used it tell me a little bit more about its benefits and how it compares to other common languages like JavaScript, Python, etc?
My experience with Elixir has been great but one area of improvement is debugging. Maybe it's because I'm so used to using something like Chrome's developer tools, but I wish there was something as easy to use for setting breakpoints and inspecting the environment. Would love to know how others are debugging currently!
I would switch off of Chrome if Firefox has better developer tools. Unfortunately, as a developer, Chrome's developer experience is just significantly better.

I've been learning Elixir as well and practicing my Elixir with this year's Advent Of Code. So far, I've really been enjoying writing in Elixir but if there's one thing I wish it was better at, it would be debugging in Elixir. Maybe its because I'm so used to using Chrome's developer tools, but I wish there was something as easy and simple to use like that for debugging Elixir.
