Elixir. We are using it to build our newly minted startup, Metriculator - https://www.metriculator.com https://www.metriculator.com This is the first functional language we are using (long time Ruby/Rails devs). We are also using the Phoenix framework. Reasons why we chose Elixir/Phoenix - - Immutability of data makes it easier to reason with and figure out exactly what is changed where. - Lots of asynchronous work involved. Elixir is built for this. - Real-time data push (Phoenix channels scale well in this respect) - Syntax, stability and a vibrant, helpful community.
