Google's new quantum chip looks interesting, but quantum's big flaw is that if you look at the chip then it will never work again. 🤷‍♂️

🚨 New Blog Post 🚨

I wrote a tiny blog post about:

1. how to print out the type info of an #ElixirLang variable and
2. how to allow regexes in NimbleOptions definitions

Parse a Regex with NimbleOptions
Learn how I discovered that ~r-sigils return Regex structs and how to include regex patterns as valid input in NimbleOptions.

Not sure I’ve fully grokked how to utilise it, but any programming language that is tolerant of failure by design is a language that I’m going to enjoy.

Thanks to the BEAM VM and the elixir programming language.

Programming with Elixir has made me feel a great deal of angst when using other, more popular, languages.

Pragmatic FP for the win!
