- pawelduda 3y agoElixir is my favourite language. But at the same time the most frustrating one, because it's market share is so small, compared to Ruby. So I enjoy it most in hobby projects - maybe for the better. There's always chance a bad job could ruin it for me. I know it's popular on HN, but still seems to be under the radar otherwise and it's been like this for years - are there any sites that track Elixir's adoption?
- throwawaymaths 3y ago- Discord - Pagerduty - Slab Are some companies you have heard of that use a dominating amount of elixir. There are a bunch of wellknowncos that use a small amount: - Mozilla - Apple - Adobe - Pepsi
- photon_collider 3y agoWhere does Apple use Elixir? Just curious

- jarl-ragnar 3y agoI’ve been impressed with Elixir. At my current gig it’s easily replaced a bunch of java microservices using RabbitMQ as the messaging backbone that struggled to handle the workload. To try and handle the load we kept upping the hardware spec. I thought that Elixir could do better and created a replacement Elixir monolith. The replacement happily handles the workload while running on my MacBook Pro.
- MistaIA 3y agoVery interesting and learning video conf. I was planning to learn Phoenix LiveView with Inventory and Sales services as starter project. Now, I dunno if I should use Elixir itself or Phoenix LiveView, someone with useful links or thoughts?
- arrowsmith 3y agoNot sure what you mean? You can't use Phoenix Liveview without using Elixir, just like you can't use Django without using Python and you can't use Rails without using Ruby. Phoenix is a library, Elixir is the language you'll write your Phoenix app in.
- MistaIA 3y agoAw, gotcha, I thought Elixir was a framework of ERLANG actually. I have never done or search for it! Thank you for the clarification!
- erikjenkins 3y agoElixir is a language on the Erlang platform (kinda like Kotlin is to Java). Phoenix is the predominant web framework for Elixir and includes LiveView.
