Impl

When you use a module then want to implement the functions you can use @impl true to indicate what you think a callback is, it will do typechecking matching it

• Will error if you do it once and not every time

@impl true
def init(state) do
  {:ok, state}
end

@impl true
def start_link do
  GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, 0)
end
