I'd love to hear why Elixir wasn't for you - not from a judgemental place, I just like hearing others' experience reports for languages that stuck or didn't. For a web service with fast iteration times, I'd probably pick Go of those two. While I'm not personally a giant fan, I think it is a much simpler stack that lets developers be pretty productive especially in the domain of web services.

Iteration was easier but the main complaint from my team was it was hard for junior engineers to pick up and understand. Along with that, IDE support still seems poor (we use Jetbrains and the Elixir plugin doesn't work reliably for us)
