I activity encourage folks to avoid Elixir. After working with Elixir, it's very difficult and demotivating to go back to Ruby, Java and the like.

- cutler 6y agoEven more difficult after you've been exposed to Clojure but I'd rather have Clojure any day than Java, .Net, Ruby or whatever.
- davidw 6y agoHow so? I've switched back and forth between Erlang and Rails at various companies. I still find Ruby a great way to get things done quickly and cleanly. I haven't used Elixir quite as much. It's a nice language, and I think genuinely improves on Erlang in some ways, but it's more the BEAM system that I like about it rather than it being a lot more productive than Ruby.
