I'm not sure if there is a better Programming Language community out there?
I would love for someone to point to another group of diverse people who have so consistently gotten things right, in the right ways at the right times.
For Example:
1. The language is both expressive, performant and approachable
2. Its best in class when you have strong concurrency / realtime needs
3. Since 1.0 they've declared Elixir "finished" and committed to making few breaking changes.
4. They've instead pushed energy into other important areas like Language Servers, Typing support, Data science / ML capabilities, embedded systems, etc...
5. And have done so while maintaining an extremely friendly and welcoming community with nearly no drama.
Again would love to know who else is worth of this same amount of praise, but to me Jose Valim, Chris McCord, the rest of the Elixir/Phoenix Core Teams and the Community as a whole is in a league of their own.
