I really love Haskell and wish there is more opportunity for me to use it. But for high concurrency web projects Elixir has one big advantage -- Chris and the team doing very focused and high quality presentations. Building the community and hype surrounding the project (I say 'hype' in best possible meaning) is half job done. I really get itchy fingers to start some serious Phoenix project every time I see Elixir team at work. Respect.
- vegabook 11y agoCouldn't agree more. Hunting around for a new language to do large scale concurrency in, I had shortlisted Clojure and even Golang, but the Phoenix presentations (and BEAM) tipped it for me. I also appreciate the fact that the Phoenix guys constantly address the need not only to target the browser, but other types of endpoints "beyond the browser" with transport adapters, CoAP etc. Certainly has gotten me to buy a bunch of Elixir books recently to get into the ecosystem.
