Yip, I'd love to program professionally in it someday. No idea how to get there though. I live in a smallish town in New Zealand and there are two Ruby shops here, no one is doing elixir. I can't imagine getting a remote elixir job without prod experience first. Also, as Beam, OTP etc is quite different, I'd really like to work on that with a team who really know it.
Still, someday in the future, it's a great language.
- mattferderer 8y agoElixir & Ruby both seem to be two of the best languages to work in for finding remote jobs. Elixir is new enough to where I think you could show some open source code & get a job without prod experience in it. Especially if you have prod experience in other languages.
- patrickdavey 8y agoI made https://github.com/patrickdavey/caster https://github.com/patrickdavey/caster as a small toy app and I did Advent of code in elixir a couple of years ago. I haven't used it in a while though, it's just hard justifying the time at the moment. Maybe when my current (remote Ruby) job comes to an end I'll take a look. I fell into my current role, not quite sure where to start finding a remote roll! Anyway, thanks for the reply and encouragement :)
