I don't appreciate the "Elixir is growing" commentary in the title. That's not justified because a person wrote a program in it.

- jazoom 9y agoJust grew by 1
- kbd 9y agoAnd somewhere else someone stopped using it. One person doesn't make a trend as the title claims.
- kranner 9y agoArguably this post will lead to net-positive growth. I'm certainly going to try it after having read the top comments.
- RUTHLESS_RUFUS 9y agoI stopped using it just to throw a wrench in your gears. Grind this thing to a halt! (...no, actually Elixir is pretty cool.)
- Kiro 9y agoYeah, the post has nothing to do with Elixir's growth. Simply "Building a Reddit clone in Elixir" is a much better title.
- pmarreck 9y agoAgreed that that is not a logical conclusion given that evidence. It is, however, likely true based on the evidence that each ElixirConf so far has doubled the number of attendees of the previous year. Search trends for the language seem to be growing, although not seemingly strongly: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%2Fm%2F0pl075p https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%2Fm%2F0pl075p
