Here's some Elixir negatives from someone who's worked with it for four years, nearing five, and currently director of engineering at a startup where we use Elixir for 100% of backend code. 1. Expensive to find talent. 2. Deploy story was kind of shit until recently with mix release. 3. In Rails or .NET you can find a package for literally anything you can think of. In Elixir-land, it's not 100%. It's more like 80%. One example, there's a Twilio elixir lib, but bad luck one of the calls we need isn't supported by the package. In rails it's all supported. --- But on the other end of this, it's all rainbows and happiness. It's fast, predictable, boring. I love that about the language. I still use Nim for hobby projects, but anything professional I will write in Elixir.
