Ask HN: Is Elixir/Erlang getting trendy because of the rise of bots and chat?
Recently I got interested in Elixir. I wonder if the Elixir hype is just a fad or something that is here to stay and worth to learn.
- herbst 11y agoNot because of the bots (clearly, as Elixir is hyping for longer than chatbots kickback) but it could still be a fad. Only time knows. Why no learn a fad tho?
- marvel_boy 11y agoElixir is trendy because its powerful concurrency model, a lot of experts think that Elixir is the best fit for future multi-core software arquitecture.
