In the Fintech space and we use Go and Elixir. Seems to be pretty common among other companies. Company is out of Utah. It's pretty easy to find talent for Go and a little more difficult for elixir.
- iends 3y agoElixir people might cringe but why wouldn’t you just be 100% Go?
- lawik 3y agoGo people might cringe but why wouldn't you just be 100% Rust? Actual response: Some similarities, different goals, different strengths, different abstraction levels. Go is cool I hear but I don't see a need from over here doing Elixir.
- pg_1234 3y agoIn a concurrent environment Go is not guaranteed memory safe, leaving you exposed to silent errors of value ... which for Fintech is just suicidal.
- RSHEPP 3y agoBecause we live with our past decisions... All new services are in Go. The elixir service serves us well still.
- bsaul 3y agoCurious: why did you move from elixir to go ?
- innocentoldguy 3y agoWhy not 100% Elixir, since it is more robust and uses less resources?
- pdimitar 3y agoI'm still on a hiatus but if you need a senior Elixir and Rust dev that knows Golang okay, we can chat. 21 years of experience in total, including in C/C++ and Java.
- parthdesai 3y agoSame with betting space, there's few Elixir shops
- RSHEPP 3y agoI looked at past sponsors of Fintech devcon, Elixir shops are well represented.
