All-in! Elixir Rewrite
Why? Extensibility goals stdlib mix ExUnit
:gen_fsm :ets GenServer Supervisor alias :ets, as: ETS
proper Tests send_events(ClientDeviceIDs, ClientIP) -> ?FORALL(Event, event(), ?FORALL(Data, event_data(Event), ...
parse_transform ?

Create your own behaviours for fun better reusability and profit
easier testing {:next_stage, new_stage_data, new_state_data} {:end_game, new_stage_data, new_state_data}
Distributed Erlang makes hard things easy ConnectionProxy
DB failure? We got all data already, so finish the
game, then just store result on disk
