The banding on the background is incredibly annoying, but looks interesting. I was considering learning Elixir the last few weeks, and I'm still on the fence. Does anyone have any good tips on how to set up a decent dev environment (IDE/debugging/etc.)?

VSCode + ElixirLS is usually enough for everything. ASDF is a useful tool to install desired Erlang/Elixir version. Don't think you need anything else

Well sounds like you came to the right place!

You can get started easily by installing the elixir-tools.vscode extension for VSCode and be off to the races!
