Lots of great discussion around supply vs. demand. As an Elixir dev, I will add that it being a niche language is also beneficial from a cultural standpoint. I want to work at a place where devs are encouraged to tinker and explore cutting-edge technologies. Not to mention a generally more forward-thinking culture, at least on the dev side. “Established” technologies like Java make me think traditional, top-down, “butts-in-seats” kinds of companies. Of course, this can’t be generalized, but I think there is at least some correlation. Besides, using enterprise Java is, at least for me, soul-crushing in and of itself.
