Anyone else worried about the long-term outlook on Elixir for adopting it now in bigger companies? (leaving OTP out, of course) * Bus factor of 1? * No visibi

Anyone else worried about the long-term outlook on Elixir for adopting it now in bigger companies? (leaving OTP out, of course)
* Bus factor of 1?
* No visibility of improvement process (i.e. PEP)?
* Long term support?
How would you resolve this? do consultancies that build projects for clients in Elixir are aware of that? or notify the client of that?
- josevalim 10y ago> * Bus factor of 1? The core team is made of six members: @josevalim, @fishcakez, @ericmj, @lexmag, @whatyouhide and @true_droid. We have more than 500 contributors on GitHub, it is an accessible codebase. The areas where the bus factor is actually 1 are very rare (and when I can I delegate work to minimize that). > * No visibility of improvement process (i.e. PEP)? All planned improvements are currently in the issues tracker: https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/issues https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/issues. It is a short list because it is a stable language and the focus is on the ecosystem rather than the language. Proposals are sent before hand to elixir-lang-core mailing list for discussion. > * Long term support? List of consultancies currently involved with Elixir: https://github.com/doomspork/elixir-companies#consulting https://github.com/doomspork/elixir-companies#consulting Plus Plataformatec has been doing and supporting Elixir for 5 years and Erlang Solutions has been supporting Erlang for way longer than that and they also provide Elixir support.
