Is there any place to read about this on a more or less basic level? I bet many people will just ask what benefits they may get from this instead of apps build using Go (for example) + rabbitmq

- pdimitar 5y agoOne big selling point is having almost everything you need right there with you in the same runtime environment (the Erlang's BEAM VM). Many underestimate this but it's a huge benefit for most projects that don't need a complex deployment pipeline.
- bcrosby95 5y agoIf you're trying to limit your exposure to different technologies, then I think Elixir is a great choice. If you're going all in on cloud, microservices, and managed services, then - outside some specific problems - I'm not sure if Elixir is any better of a choice than other language. I personally like immutability+FP but that feels a bit subjective. But I've worked at small companies for most of my career, and it's my (obviously subjective) opinion that Elixir will let you build a better system if you don't have the luxury of using the "right tool for each task".
