"slightly different ways to initialise stuff."
can you elaborate? theres only what 11 datatypes in elixir?
Perhaps they are referring to the syntactic sugar around keyword lists?
[a: 1, b: 2] == [{:a, 1}, {:b, 2}]
Or maybe atom vs string keys in maps?
%{a: 1} vs %{"b" => 1}
Or keyword lists always needing to come last in lists?
[some: :value, :another] # error
[:another, some: :value] # valid
Or maybe something else entirely. Those are just things I remember having to lookup repeatedly when I was first learning elixir.
