I love Elixir, and I've been learning it because I see the potential. But, it is a steep learning curve, and it's quite a different paradigm than most developers are used to. Which means it would be very difficult to get it adopted in say a company, because it would require lots of money to retrain people and it's harder to find people for it. I think it might also have a marketing problem, in that it uses the Erlang VM which is pretty old. That's actually evidence of it's strength, but it's less sexy than doing something completely new
