What are the differences between Elixir GenEvent's handle_call and handle_event?
Please look at my answer below for the differences that I found and let me know if they are wrong or if there are more differences. Thank you.

The difference that I saw on Elixir's documentation
handle_callmust return a reply andhandle_eventdoes not have to return a reply
It seems to me that event is used to change the state and call is used to get the state.
