I suppose you can say that; that’s when it 1.0ed. But Elixir was surprisingly stable pre-1.0; I was writing production Elixir 0.6 code at Spawngrid in 2012!
Really, the 1.0 announcement felt more like a formality than anything; there was no discontinuous switch from “throwing features at the wall” to “considered engineering.” Changes to Elixir have always been considered — and props to Jose Valim for that! :)
