> There are libraries that do this, like https://github.com/sasa1977/exactor

At the very top of the Extractor readme:

> I don't maintain this project anymore. In hindsight, I don't think it was a good idea in the first place. I haven't been using ExActor myself for years, and I recommend sticking with regular GenServer instead :-)

This both confirms what you said about the Elixir community shying away from macro magic, and makes this library a very bad idea to use in new projects, imo.



Right, thats why I said he doesn't recommend using his own library. My point is people have been down this road, and moved away from it, not that anyone should use it.
