> "I think Elixir has reached peak adoption"
I'd say the opposite. Core libraries have reached stability and engineering hours are switching to making easy what classic imperative/OOP paradigms have trouble doing:
- Dynamic web development without giant Javascript dependencies(Liveview, Drab, etc)
- Scalable distributed systems without giant teams (Firenest, Phoenix Channels/PubSub)
- Concurrency and data-infrastructure (Flow, Genstage, OTP)
- Reactive event-driven systems: OTP and the Actor model makes event-sourcing easier than you'll see anywhere else.
- Usual conveniences: User-management, HTTP clients/libraries
The next 2 years are going to get wild for Elixir.
- hassan_shaikley 8y agoFor sure, and sockets are first class citizens and testing is at the forefront for all these things. Elixir is going to kill it. And there's a lot of potential there for game backends as sort of a neat bonus. Just saying. : )
