My point is... "Pattern matching correctly"... assumes no mistakes on the coder's part. Go back and re-read my comment. Or don't. Downvote me because I dare question your skill in the context of the mighty erlang.
I would never downvote someone simply for disagreeing, and certainly not unless I was 100% sure they were wrong or it was way offtopic. (And you would be surprised how often I admit I was wrong or cede a point!)
You're basically saying "well, it's still subject to logic errors." Well, that's a nonargument, because you can say that about 100% of languages in existence. That is not a criticism you can levy just against BEAM langs. And we were never arguing that BEAM magically takes care of your logic bugs. Just that it seems to handle the "set of all bugs that are not logic bugs" better.
I also apologize for erlang/elixir fans being rabid and insufferable. ;) A lot of us have dealt with many other langs (I spent years on Ruby and other OO langs) and we're enjoying the unexpected (to us) benefits of this new/old world, that's all. Joe Armstrong is basically Einstein AFAIC...
