I was randomly watching youtube videos about Elixir ("The Soul of Erlang and Elixir " by Sasa Juric), and I have never really been interested in it... I was completely wrong. BEAM/Erlang is amazing piece of technology, and Elixir does excellent job to bring in new people in.
If you do web development, then just for the sake of professional curiosity, I urge you to go watch a couple of videos to make yourself in idea. I have found that some (many) features which I would go learn and use another tool for, are already included into Elixir ... Now I feel sad for doing Django for my daywork
- Existenceblinks 4y ago5+ years elixir exp here, about to take python/django job. Why do you feel sad! I just gave up finding elixir jobs for a couple months.
- KyeRussell 4y agoI work for an org that does a lot of Elixir (on other teams though, I’m actually a Django developer!). I’ve heard from those team leads that they’ve had trouble hiring people with FP / Elixir experience, which is not that surprising to me. Guess it’s a matter of right place right time.
- Existenceblinks 4y agoYeah, right place, right time, knowing right people. I think it's close to impossible to go through from front door cold.
- bullfightonmars 4y agoMore orgs should hire experienced engineers and train them on the job.
- UlisesAC4 4y agoThis, a company to find skilled workers in a niche technology is expecting too much.
- Existenceblinks 4y agoPractically insignificant numbers of company will do it. They are racing to bottom to shirk their own future developer pool.
