In an ideal world you would be using a static typed language on the BEAM. Maybe there are some. I'm not saying that you should look for them or create one, because there are obvious advantages in using a language with a large community and creating a new community is a years long process, apart from the technical complexity of designing and implementing a language. You and I are probably paid for something else.

All projects including elixir started as one man's itch and turned to large communities. It has to start somewhere... Much of what you and I use today wouldn't exist if people only worked what they were paid to do.
