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.
- joelbluminator 6y ago> 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.
