Sentiment analysis in Elixir - afinn has been released

Last week, I released the first version of afinn library for Elixir. It’s a very simple library for sentiment analysis.

Just add it to mix.exs:

def deps do
[
  {:afinn, "~> 0.1.0"}
]
end

And then we can use it like this:

text = 'I love this!'

Afinn.score(text)
#=> 3

Afinn.score_to_words(text)
#=> :positive

Some ideas for further development:

• Improve documentation
• Add more languages
• Add emoticons/emoji support
• Add support for multi-word expressions (“bad luck”, “no fun” etc.)
