Papers We Love - Elixir Edition
summary
Elixir core uses research to build concrete tools: a code formatter based on John Hughes’s pretty-print algebra and Christian Lindig’s strict pretty printing implemented to respect line-length, nesting and terminal color; a fast diff for test failures using Myers diff (list on Myers) plus a fast-string similarity filter so huge, dissimilar strings skip expensive diffs; and a property-testing library porting ideas from QuickCheck and Clojure test.check (stream_data), all implemented and used in production.
