+//// # Read environment variables
+//// 
+//// The envoy package is used to work with environment variables.  This package 
+//// works on both Erlang and JavaScript targets.
+//// 
+//// Note that we are using `let assert` to crash if any of these functions 
+//// fail.  In a real application or library, you would want to handle results 
+//// properly.
+//// 
+//// ## Dependencies
