Well... Elixir has a thriving community around it right now. Erlang has a lot of really mature libraries and frameworks. It's trivial to include Erlang in an Elixir project, it's slightly less simple to go the other way, but it's still doable. In either case I don't think you have much in the way of risk regarding Ericsson pulling a Sun. When I say Ericsson is "disinterested" I just mean they're not inclined to promote or progress the language with the kind of pace and/or hype required to keep a thriving and active Silicon Valley shaped community going. It's a tool that works well at exactly what it was designed for. There's no driving force trying to move it further to take over the general purpose programming world like Java had or Go has. Anyway, we're epically off topic :-) I think my email is in my HN profile, so happy to take this offline.
