I use Elixir at my company and Ive gone thru three phases: 1.: love it for the polished ecosystem and functional programming, get frustrated because even though it is functional it is not at all like writing ML-style code and not having types, and now I am starting to grok BEAM and OTP. Specifically, I realized how many problems we solved using OTP that would be much more challenging to get right otherwise. We can use processes to get transactional behavior, spawn workers very simply. We use event sourcing. Our state snapshots are just a process that receives events. It was easy to evict snapshots by killing processes idle for too long. Beautiful!
