It’s not a resume builder. Your interest is the only thing that matters here. For example, I could care less about Typescript but that is part of resume driven

  Who talked about "resume builder"? I could not care less about a resume for 2 reasons, First, I'm trying to decide if Elixir would be a viable option for my business, based on its ecosystem. Secondly, the skills I look for in a resume are: - methodology (design patterns) - data structures knowledge (algorithmic) - debugging Because those are the skills that matter, not the number of language you know. Those skills are needed in ANY language. The language is just a syntax to express those skills, it can be learned.

    > would be a viable option for my business, based on its ecosystem You really need to have a compelling reason to use Elixir imo. There are widely used alternatives both for standard web development (php/.net/java/ruby/node) or for special concurrency needs (node/golang). All these alternatives have huge communities and many people you can recruit. It will be way easier to recruit a php / golang guy than an Elixir dev, which means you may have to onboard a person into Elixir. Elixir is still enjoying being somewhat novel, in 5 years it won't even have that - it will just be another stack that is quite small in adoption.
