I went though that persons submissions/comments on HN. its literally the only time they mention Elixir, everything else is ruby/rails or python. Makes me wonder if it's a troll post.
Oh yes, @joelbluminator, the troll-in-chief when it comes to Elixir posts. You really have an axe to grind against this language, do you?

Sadly, your trolling is too subtle to get shadow banned, so we are doomed to keep reading your inane comments in every Elixir thread, hiding under the cowardly guise of "doing it for the young developers."
Of course not. But reading how somebody who is strongly convinced that their current tech choice is good is trashing another tech that didn't immediately solve all their problems isn't a compelling or objective criticism either, wouldn't you say?
Thinking back, I remember that the guy had 1-2 good points but the rest was mostly ranting. They are fun to read but rarely are informative.
