It’s a shame elixir never really seemed to take off. I’ve been a huge fan of the language and recent Phoenix framework for three years or so. However, it seems like specializing in this Lang would be more of a hinderance than asset. Great for personal projects and a joy to work with, but for some reason a lions share of developers seem to be scared of functional programming.
- dnautics 7y agoI am using elixir for a very important part of a project where I work. The project leader who is giving up their repsonsibility over a half-baked python/django effort that is currently in prod asked me if it's risky because we're increasing our exposure by using a product that is not battle tested. Then i told him that our at work documentation (slab) and our soon-to-be site reliability early warning system (pagerduty) oh yeah and our corporate card (divvy) all are or Elixir/Phoenix so we already have exposure to the risks in adopting it.
