20. Summary and Recap
1. Elixir even if it is similar to Ruby, it is not like Ruby.
2. Functional Programming is about constraints.
3. Data Structures + Functions + Orchestration = Functional Program
4. Actor Model enables new possibilities, but requires shift in thinking.
5. The most pleasant public cloud experience for Elixir is provided by GCP.
