Worked for a company that made extensive use of elixir. It was a disaster, not due to the technical stuff, but because of every other aspect of a technology choice: - Near impossible to hire experienced people - We had to write from scratch a lot of things that are "free" with rails/django/etc - The paradigm change takes time to learn and get it right - Some people were happy to learn it, others didn't want because they knew they wouldn't use it ever again - Many missing libraries in the ecosystem. Some libraries are poorly implemented or abandoned. - Googling for problems wasn't easy, there aren't as many answers out there as you can have for Rails, Django, etc... But yes, the Erlang VM is awesome, can't disagree with that.
