It makes me really sad that Elixir isn't more popular than it is. I'm just a hobbyist but would jump at a good opportunity to write it full time (though I'm really happy with my current employer and want to put more time in with them). There's just so little BS in the language itself (by my standards). A good Elixir program reads SO well thanks to some strong conventions. I particularly like how it's very common to forgo imports and just prefix functions with their module name. That coupled with it being functional make for very little need to jump around when trying to understand a function--everything is just right there. It's also so nice having a performant, query-able key-value store at your fingertips. Anyway, I dunno, I know that it being a dynamic language is a deal-breaker for many but gah, I'm rambling at this point. I just really, really like it.
