I'm not the person you're asking, but we used Elixir professionally at work - still do, I guess, since it's still running - but we're moving off of it. The biggest problem is that for the most part it's a pretty and a pretty cool language - but it doesn't have a huge community you can hire out of. So if all of your Elixir experts leave, and you're faced with a problem you cannot solve, it becomes significantly harder to figure out what the correct solution is. And for us, especially, using Elixir didn't give us any huge benefits that other languages couldn't also provide. So you don't need to convince the bossman that Elixir is the correct language to use; you need to convince the bossman that it's a solution that will still be maintainable when you and several of your coworkers who wrote the thing leave for greener pastures.
