Lots 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 13y agoThat's not the greatest of endorsements to be honest.
- rubiquity 13y 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 13y agoI did not mention MtGox.
- hackerboos 13y agoWhat exchanges use elixir?
- lectrick 13y 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 13y agoLanguages take a while to get traction. Sometimes a long while.
- sjtgraham 13y 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 13y 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::
