really love seeing news about Discord being successful. It is a product I use daily, and rarely have issues. their tech blogs have been pretty cool to read, talking about the various problems of scale they have had while leveraging the BEAM vm. I'll be honest that one of the things I find most interesting is that Discord is probably the most well-known company in the world whose core technology is built with Elixir, which is still one of my favorite programming languages.

>I'll be honest that one of the things I find most interesting is that Discord is probably the most well-known company in the world whose core technology is built with Elixir, which is still one of my favorite programming languages. I remember looking through their engineering job postings once recently, and not one of them mentioned Elixir, making me wonder how much they are really committed to it.

  We don't have an open req for our chat infra team right now which heavily uses Elixir. We are quite committed to Elixir, actually, we were interviewed by José Valim about how we use Elixir :) https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2020/10/08/real-time-communication-at-scale-with-elixir-at-discord/ https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2020/10/08/real-time-communicat...
