Lamba is more or less deprecated in favor of Phoenix.

How does Function help here?

A bit disappointing to not see more on data structures, which are
usually general topics that speak to everyone.

MultiIndex is a powerful toolbox that can be used to have features
similar to that of a database, for example.

The intrusive containers can also be very interesting from my own
experience with embedded systems.
