Yes! And most likely in 2020 as well.
I've been programming intensively in Elixir for the past two years and it's a wonderfully productive language, which allows one to write elegant systems that leverage the multi-core architecture of today's machines effectively.
In addition, the networking capabilities and fault tolerance of the VM make writing systems which spawn machines and services a breeze; not the mention the ecosystem only gets better by the day.
So yeah, Elixir is one of my main tools when I want to get things done elegantly and productively. And if for some reason I need to speed things up a bit here and there, I just add a little rust into the mix. [1]

- hadsed 8y agoWhat sort of work have you been doing with it?
- plainOldText 8y agoI've been writing a social collider for real life social interactions on demand. The backend is written in Elixir (which is a collection of services e.g chat subsystem, telemetry, authentication, rate limiting, etc) and the client is an iOS app, so Swift, which is also a nice language btw.
