I think new languages wont be able to break in the top 10 without a mega corp pushing them. The market is too saturated and there is a language for everything under the sun. Elixir is just facing too much competition for web stuff and doesnt enjoy Google pushing it.
- pmarreck 5y agoI don't think it's necessary for a language to be in the top 10 to be considered a success. If the people who use it, wouldn't use anything else, then that is the success.
- joelbluminator 5y agoAs long as you're aware that hiring and maintaining will be significantly harder then yes you're right. But that also means there's no reason to choose esoteric tech X for yet another CRUD app; you would pick Erlang/Elixir when it actually makes sense and only then.
