Anyone else worried about the long-term outlook on Elixir for adopting it now in bigger companies? (leaving OTP out, of course) * Bus factor of 1? * No visibility of improvement process (i.e. PEP)? * Long term support? How would you resolve this? do consultancies that build projects for clients in Elixir are aware of that? or notify the client of that? |

The core team is made of six members: @josevalim, @fishcakez, @ericmj, @lexmag, @whatyouhide and @true_droid. We have more than 500 contributors on GitHub, it is an accessible codebase. The areas where the bus factor is actually 1 are very rare (and when I can I delegate work to minimize that).
> * No visibility of improvement process (i.e. PEP)?
All planned improvements are currently in the issues tracker: https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/issues. It is a short list because it is a stable language and the focus is on the ecosystem rather than the language.
Proposals are sent before hand to elixir-lang-core mailing list for discussion.
> * Long term support?
List of consultancies currently involved with Elixir: https://github.com/doomspork/elixir-companies#consulting
Plus Plataformatec has been doing and supporting Elixir for 5 years and Erlang Solutions has been supporting Erlang for way longer than that and they also provide Elixir support.
