What made you do that? Genuinely curious. You immediately suspect trolling when you see people complaining about Elixir?

  Of course not. But reading how somebody who is strongly convinced that their current tech choice is good is trashing another tech that didn't immediately solve all their problems isn't a compelling or objective criticism either, wouldn't you say? Thinking back, I remember that the guy had 1-2 good points but the rest was mostly ranting. They are fun to read but rarely are informative.

  Oh yes, @joelbluminator, the troll-in-chief when it comes to Elixir posts. You really have an axe to grind against this language, do you? > For one I really do think Elixir is a horrible career choice and I wanna save young average developers who still have time to correct that mistake (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27204755 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27204755) Sadly, your trolling is too subtle to get shadow banned, so we are doomed to keep reading your inane comments in every Elixir thread, hiding under the cowardly guise of "doing it for the young developers." https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=elixir%20%40joelbluminator&sort=byPopularity&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... > Im not at all negative about Elixir.

    The funny thing is that I remember back in the Aughts when guys like that were trying to "save" people from using Ruby or Python.
