An open discussion: Elixir maybe harder than you think to get it speedy. It is VERY easy to write "inefficient" code.
Some examples:
- [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y83p_VsvRFA) is a good example on how to write beautiful but inefficient Elixir code.

The todo: **repeatedly pick a random element from a large list of words**
