Another reason might be the "cultural" aspects of Clojure, and their impacts on its ecosystem - in particular simplicity and stability are paramount, whereas the Elixir ecosystem seems to put more emphasis on immediate ease of use and elegance à la Ruby, at the cost of doing some "magical" designs which you tend to not see in the Clojure ecosystem.
- pdimitar 7y agoHow exactly is stability not paramount in Elixir? It runs in the BEAM.
- yogthos 7y agoStability of the language itself is another factor though. Clojure does a really good job avoiding breaking changes in the language.
- pdimitar 7y agoWith the exception of a few project config settings whose legacy variants are still backwards compatible, Elixir is absolutely stable as well. So not sure what were you saying about Elixir.
