Erlang is proven in production for server and telephony apps. > "From my (limited) Erlang experience, Erlang & Elixir have the same core functionality." Depends on what you mean by 'core functionality'. If you mean the functionality provided by Beam VM or OTP, then there's a case to be made for that. However, the library ecosystem for Elixir is separate from the one for Erlang. To use an alternate example, Java is definitely a 'production ready' language for enterprise software. However, if I write a new language for the JVM, it's not automatically 'production ready'. In most cases it's the library ecosystem which is under evaluation, not the platform the language runs on.
