The HashSet implementation follows [the same design goals as the HashDict implementation](/blog/2013/01/27/elixir-v0-8-0-released/) released at the beginning of this year, starting with a compact representation and expanding and contracting as needed.

This feature was a contribution from [Joseph Wilk](https://github.com/josephwilk) and he talks about its implementation and provides some benchmarks [on his blog](http://blog.josephwilk.net/elixir/sets-in-elixir.html).

## Pretty printing

Another addition to this release is pretty printing. The pretty printing started as an implementation of the [Wadler paper](http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/papers/prettier/prettier.pdf) by [Jonns Mostovoys](https://github.com/manpages) which was then improved by [Gustavo Brunoro](https://github.com/brunoro) under his Google Summer of Code project as described in [Lindig's _Strictly Prettier_ paper](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.34.2200).

As soon as you upgrade to Elixir v0.10.0 and start IEx, you will get pretty printing for all data structures provided by Elixir. We have also added documentation to the `Inspect` module about [adding pretty printing to your own structures](https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Inspect.html) as well as [using the document algebra for any other kind of formatting](https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Inspect.Algebra.html).

Not only that, any developer can **extend** the `Enum` module to work with any data type as long as the data type implements [the `Enumerable` protocol](https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Enumerable.html) (protocols in Elixir are based on Clojure's protocol). This is extremely convenient because the developer needs to know only the `Enum` API for enumeration, instead of memorizing specific APIs for sets, lists, dicts, etc.

There are many other protocols exposed by the language, like [the `Inspect` protocol](https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Inspect.html) for pretty printing data structures and [the `Access` protocol](https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Access.html) for accessing key-value data by key. By being extensible, Elixir ensures developers can work **with** the language, instead of **against** the language.

## Summing up

The goal of this post was to sumarize the language goals: compatibility, productivity and extensibility. By being compatible with the Erlang VM, we are providing developers another toolset for building concurrent, distributed and fault-tolerant systems.

We also hope to have clarified what Elixir brings to the Erlang VM, in particular, meta-programming through macros, polymorphic constructs for extensibility and a data-focused standard library with extensible and consistent APIs for diverse types, including strict and lazy enumeration, unicode handling, a test framework and more.
