Why are redditors and ycombinators so annoying? A new version has been released and instead of discussing what is important and notable about this new release,you all go off on a tangent discussing the pros and cons of Elixir.
Why don't you guys take the discussion elsewhere so that interested readers can focus on what is new and relevant about this release? The subject of the post is about a new release,not about people showing of their knowledge and opinions about computer programming and languages etc.
It just makes this forums intolerable especially those which are about new releases new products etc.
You have a very adequate and concise changelog linked for this purpose.
IMO people discussing here aren't "showing off their knowledge". Posting a version upgrade serves as a visibility reminder and people start inquiring about the features of the language/framework. Eventually a technology gains enough critical mass so that more people start using it.
