I'm very excited about Elixir for example. There is a new Elixir blog post/article/github repo posted on HN every day, you would think that Elixir is the new cool thing. Well, not easy to find companies that actually use it.
- tanlermin 11y agoyes, but are these articles early sensitive indicators of things to come or just esoteric blovation?
- abrookewood 11y agoI think they're an indication that people find something interesting, which is often because it's novel.
- BuckRogers 11y agoElixir is so interesting (to me) because if a company does adopt it, there's almost no risk. I always view tech from business-tinted glasses. Elixir is a winner from both sides. It's built on technology older than Java. I'm not sure most people need what it offers immediately, but it's certainly a safer bet than most new things. Including CPython3 and Perl6.
