I have been involved with bringing it to my company as the primary proponent. The truth is it hasn't been hard to teach people it and they can produce decent code pretty quickly and good code a bit longer than that but still acceptable.

We have found a few people who knew it already and were looking for a job, but that is fairly rare. Instead, we know we can bring people up to speed on it quickly and also it signals to people that we're willing to give them some language options (Ruby or Elixir) within some boundaries. Having these options is good for ownership of an area.
