I'm about six years in with Elixir, five years in production at Appcues. I have no regrets at all -- Elixir and the BEAM have been fantastic. It is convenient to write very scalable and stable systems that operate in soft real-time, which is what I do for a living, so I have warm feelings. Previously I wrote Scala for a few years, then RoR for a few years before that, following about a decade of Perl. I recommend you try Elixir. Anyone complaining about a talent pool is focusing too hard on prior Elixir experience. We hire backend engineers and teach them Elixir. This has worked out great so far, especially now that we're a fully remote business and are no longer as constrained by geography.
