Not sure you and I read the same forum. My reaction to Elixir criticism usually is -- "well, if you dislike it for this or that reason, or simply don't find it useful, then don't use it, there are a lot of other languages out there". Many others do the same.

I haven't noticed cargo-culting on ElixirForum in a long time. You might simply be too cynical to differentiate people whose work life has been genuinely improved (and they express that sentiment on the forum) and people who overhype something you dislike (for valid reasons for your use-cases).
