The technology is very interesting but I find that it has the same issues as clojure: limited talent pool, questionable cost/productivity gains.
LiveWire is very interesting but its now emulated to a large degree in other more popular languages enough that I could put off learning Phoenix and opt for a more modular solution with popular languages.
- 2c2c2c 4y agoI've never taken any of the offers and have never used Elixir in a professional context. Most of these are small startups and can range from 100-200k + equity, and the only decision behind using elixir was probably the novelty, not beam or the success stories behind discord and whatsapp suggesting its utility for at scale throughput
- yomkippur 4y agoyeah the novelty aspect of tech is always very alluring. still remember building on top of Meteor.js and thinknig 'this is it, this is the future'
