Elixir Streams
I previously wrote about explicitness in Elixir. One of my favorite ways the language embraces explicitness is in its distinction between eager and lazy operations on collections. Any time you use the Enum module, you’re performing an eager operation. Your collection will be transformed/mapped/enumerated immediately…
