Fireside chat on bringing more FP to Elixir

" summary

Libraries bring Haskell-style abstractions into Elixir: Witchcraft implements type-class-like protocols with QuickCheck-style properties to generate tests and document behavior; Exceptional models Result/Either error values so errors stay in data, reducing cross-process crashes and costly recomputation under high concurrency. A high-level DSL targeting EVM compiles to Ethereum bytecode after static checks, catching bug classes that previously lost millions. Advice: prefer pure core and avoid macros unless necessary.
