3 different ways to build a list with conditional elements in Elixir (and what that has to do with application startup)

There are other ways to achieve such results for example using recursive functions.
defmodule Example do
def sample(list) do
List.foldr(list, [], fn
{false, _child_spec}, acc -> acc
{true, child_spec}, acc -> [child_spec | acc]
child_spec, acc -> [child_spec | acc]
end)
end
def sample2([]), do: []
def sample2([{false, _child_spec} | rest]), do: sample2(rest)
def sample2([{true, child_spec} | rest]), do: sample2([child_spec | rest])
def sample2([child_spec | rest]), do: [child_spec | sample2(rest)]
end
input = [:not_tuple, {false, :skip_me}, {true, :no_skip}]
Example.sample(input)
Example.sample2(input)
