> Also, I have to say that elixir developers are generally not very experienced with it and seem to be generally less desirable than the people who are working with scala.

Scala has been around for 14 years and is built on top of a much more used VM compared to Elixir. Given Scala's growth, it is expected that Scala developers are more experienced as they have been around for longer. Scala also had more time to spread to comp-sci fields, especially as it is taught by many universities. All thanks to Scala's merits, of course!

So while I agree that experience is a factor, I wouldn't draw conclusions that those are intrinsic to Elixir or to its users. I also have heard of companies that had no trouble to hire Elixir developers (some have 80 Elixir devs and growing) and some that had many difficulties. As with any other technology, YMMV.
