That seems surprising to me as an Elixir developer. Are you looking in the US, or elsewhere?
- davidw 2y agoI keep an eye out in the US and there just aren't many of them out there. And you have to be careful because some of those are * "Bob wanted to try out Elixir, so now we use it for this one microservice, but we're mostly a PHP/Rails/Java/Python/whatever shop and we'd like to rewrite it one day, because Bob left a few years ago" - places where someone wanted to play with something shiny and new. * Early stage firms where someone is a true believer that BEAM is some kind of magic scaling bullet or secret sauce.

- barrell 2y agoCan confirm, am early stage founder who is a true believer that BEAM is some kind of magic scaling bullet or secret sauce, currently looking for elixir dev. (mostly joking, if anyone is actually interested in ML, NLP, and Elixir, I have more pragmatic reasons for switching. Feel free to get in touch)
