The ecosystem around Elixir/Erlang is just not comparable to what Python/Ruby/Go/Java/.NET/Node even PHP have.
Elixir is promoted by enthusiasts a lot but once you start writing a project in it, you’ll realize after a couple of months you are writing a lot of things yourself, popular tools don’t have bindigs, lot of libraries that do exist are abandoned etc.
I worked on a Phoenix project that had a Graphql API, we couldn’t integrate it with Apollo Graphql because the Elixir library didn’t support some features, had them in the backlog for years. The company had 20+ other services in different languages, none had this issue.
