Elixir.

We are using it to build our newly minted startup, Metriculator - https://www.metriculator.com

This is the first functional language we are using (long time Ruby/Rails devs). We are also using the Phoenix framework.

Reasons why we chose Elixir/Phoenix -

- Immutability of data makes it easier to reason with and figure out exactly what is changed where.

- Lots of asynchronous work involved. Elixir is built for this.

- Real-time data push (Phoenix channels scale well in this respect)

- Syntax, stability and a vibrant, helpful community.
