Cool -- I've suspected Elixir is used in many more companies than it's "famously" used in. A quick survey on Indeed somewhat confirms that.
Big fan, of both the language and community.
- garbthetill 1y agoyep, its always funny to come across a company that uses it. For me the latest one was tubi, ive heard truth social also uses it not 100% sure. Sometimes I wonder if they're quiet about elixir praise is because the technology just works with very little to no issues
- sarchertech 1y agoOne of the devs at truth social is fairly infamous in the elixir community. I have several friends who worked with him at other places.

In my experience the Elixir community is inviting and inclusive, promoting pretty much the opposite ethics of what "Truth Social" stands for.

- input_sh 1y agoTruth Social is just Mastodon on the backend and an alternative Twitter-like frontend called Soapbox. Soapbox is indeed Elixir-based and open source. Soapbox has a very weird history of first being forked from Gab for a feminist platform called Spinster(.xyz), then it got acqui-hired by Truth Social, then many of them left Truth Social to be independent. Soapbox(.pub) today is mostly abandonware, the team switched focus to building products on top of Nostr. The amount of times it switched sides in its 5 or so years of existence has been truly fascinating and difficult to keep track of.
- sorentwo 1y agoThis is absolutely true. I can confirm, from firsthand knowledge, that Elixir is used at dozens of Fortune 500 companies in the US.
