Pinterest only uses Elixir for "Pinterest API and Ads API is built in Elixir", but it Pinterest itself is NOT built with Elixir...
If your criteria for evaluating a new technology is "one of the top 25 Internet domains uses it to power their main website," you're a pretty shitty technology evaluator, because the things you are evaluating TODAY should be the things that will be powering the sites of TOMORROW.

And Elixir DOES have a shot at that, in my experience with it.
