Not specific to Elixir I think.

There are not a lot of people proficient (or even having some experience) in functional programming, and there are not a lot of companies using functional programming neither (1/100? 1/1000?). The chicken and egg problem.

Outside of map/reduce, which honestly even juniors out of bootcamps learn these days, I don't understand the claim that functional programming is hard. It's easier, and usually safer, because you have to keep less things in your head while you're coding.
