Ending my elixir exploratory writing

Ending my elixir exploratory writing I’ve started this log 3 and a half years ago with experiment-like articles in Elixir related to simulating a telescope, which became my off-work practice for a while (in addition of being already invested in optics building), brought me to a few conferences, and allowed to meet people who became actual friends.
