Elixir has been my main language since 2017 and it’s been amazing to work with all these years. I’ve built and delivered so much value and the quality of libraries in general feels much more stable than JS land with its ever changing upgrades. I’ve never had to worry about leaving a code base untouched for 6 months. Whereas in JS land I’d have to groan about half the stuff not working, some new transpiler breaking changes, blah blah and just give up.
But developer ergonomics rough edges mostly around LiveView, and partially language servers and type support (which recently had some developments) and bad LLM support (no fix yet) are finally causing me to question whether I should look elsewhere.
The underlying tech (scalability, echo, etc) has still been excellent.
