The beauty of Plain Old Elixir Modules - POEM

Thinking about how Contexts on Phoenix 1.3 are beautiful in the simplicity, elegance and minimalism, coalesced in the smallest unity of Elixir, the Plain Old Elixir Modules, I got surprised by the acronym obtained from this definition - POEM.

The way of get straight to the problem, reducing the unnecessary abstractions is a virtue that Elixir inherited from Erlang. I just need to share this felling.

Keeping in mind that the POCO/POJO/PORO equivalent is POD (Plain Old Data (structure)).

Or even better, POES (Plain Old Elixir Struct).

Better than writing POEMs, is writing them to work with POESy data! :smile:

Is it bad form to resuscitate old threads? I’m just here to share the love you felt all those years ago @marciol, I had a moment of “wait, what the..” as it clicked in my brain what the initials were spelling out.

A beautiful acronym for a beautiful language. Thanks for sharing.

Nope, I find old gems, and resuscitate them as I see fit.

Worst case scenario, it sits on the frontpage for a couple days, then gets forgotten about again.
