I don’t understand talking about programming language without context. There is no point to discuss or compare programming languages without having the context

  This is spot on. The same programming language / framework can provide positive, zero or negative competitive advantage depending on the usecase. If you don't have that context, this information is really rather useless on its own. With that being said, in this example you have to imagine their competitors certainly will have that context (they'll each be building a replica of the same thing, essentially) and so the situation is different. Only hearing the language / framework they are using becomes more useful and valuable, then.

  The context is "major financial services company". There are actually quite a few running Elixir.
