Any examples of Elixir in production at a well-known company?
- peregrine 12y agoIt's been used with some internal projects at companies and SOME companies have started building systems with Elixir as a "nicer erlang" nothing major that I know of yet. The plan is to have v1 happen early this year and after that we'll start seeing more products being built with Elixir.
- myth_drannon 12y agoI think Quark Games are using it for the back-end.
- chillericed 12y agoWe are using Elixir at Quark, it's not actually in production yet though. It will be sometime later this year.
- rubiquity 12y agoLots of Bitcoin exchanges use Erlang/Elixir. But really any project using Erlang can and probably will add some Elixir to its code base at some point. The languages complete interop between each other by way of sharing BEAM byte code.
- sjtgraham 12y agoThat's not the greatest of endorsements to be honest.
- rubiquity 12y agoThe scale at which Bitcoin exchanges operate at is pretty impressive. Dismissing that due to Mt Gox's poor security is ridiculous. Plus, I don't think the exchanges you're thinking of used Erlang/Elixir.
- sjtgraham 12y agoI did not mention MtGox.
- hackerboos 12y agoWhat exchanges use elixir?
- lectrick 12y agoBased on my limited googling, at least Bex.io http://bex.io/faqs http://bex.io/faqs An industry tends to congeal around a single technology for implementation (for example, Python in bioinformatics), so if bitcoin exchanges will start using Elixir, that is interesting
- davidw 12y agoLanguages take a while to get traction. Sometimes a long while.
- sjtgraham 12y agoI'm a big fan of Elixir. I really love it and really hope it does get traction, because I would like to be paid to write software using it.
- lectrick 12y agoWhy not? New things tend to use new tools, so it's understandable. We're not talking about MtGox here, which incidentally, was written in ::cue disdaining programmer voice:: PHP ::end cue::
