Been programming in Elixir for years now, I'd say 19 out of 20 engineers I've spoken to don't really leverage BEAM.
There's a significant gap between "I write Elixir" and "I leverage BEAM". I'm in the former camp _still_. I just can't find the time/opportunity to dive in and use it to my advantage.
Testament to how performant and easy it is to get things up and running in Phoenix I guess. I believe once this secret sauce is spread far and wide, we'll see uptake in Elixir the likes of which the world has never seen the likes of which.

It's mostly "get data A, get data from B, mix, save resulting data C". nd when you need to do that in parallel, you through it in Kubernetes, or Apache Beam. It's even more pronounced in web/microservices situations because the web server takes care of all of that for you.
