I've had a Steam Deck since it was released and now an owner if a Steam Machine and controllers.
It's easily worth the price.
Factor in the amount of quality games you can get for cheap on Steam then it's not even expensive compared to other consoles. Switch games are ludicrously expensive for example.
I'm not quite sure what that implies. That they have to support EU customers (since they sell directly to them) for 2 years and their "30 day warranty claim" is overridden?
Gleam doesn't have macros, which many Elixir libraries (such as Phoenix and Ecto) uses to great effect.
Gleam for example has issues with verbosity of decoding/encoding json whereas in Rust you derive serde and in Elixir it's just a function call away.
Elixir has a more mature ecosystem. While you can for example use Phoenix with Gleam (or some other Gleam framework) the experience just isn't the same.
The big draw with Gleam over Elixir is the typing (where Elixir is now closing the gap) and being able to compile to JavaScript (which is also what Hologram is doing for Elixir).
I prefer Gleam's typing system and the Rust-like syntax, but for now I feel Elixir is the better choice for all my web dev projects.
I had some bugs with moving between a laptop and desktop and pack's lockfile kept getting out of sync, and pack didn't handle it well and sometimes even crashed. My build script also sometimes didn't work properly. I just got tired of dealing with it so I went back to lazy.nvim as it just works and does what I need.
