Hey Jose, author here! That's a great call out. I write predominantly in Swift and for a long time Claude was the only usable option. But sometime around GPT-5 OpenAI's models got much better at Swift, so the choice started becoming more about aesthetics (as a descriptor of preferences). So you're right — if the model can't write coherent code then it doesn't matter what kind of flow you feel as you're working with the tools — but I do imagine this will continue to improve for all languages including Elixir.

If it's okay to mention my own project, I'd appreciate it if you could check out https://charleswiltgen.github.io/Axiom/ (open source) and let me know what you think. It's focused on modern Swift, with specialized skills for helping developers get to strict Swift 6 concurrency.


I've only skimmed it since I'm between Christmas and a longer vacation that starts in 24 hours, but this actually looks really neat! I'll definitely take a closer look to at these skills in depth — but this is exactly the kind of thing I've been telling people to take the time to invest in for their agentic environments. :)
