Elixir is not bad, but I definitely prefer static typed languages now after getting more into TypeScript. Not having types just feels wrong now.

static types in Elixir would be fantastic
Not having failure domains is worse than not having types IMO.
What are failure domains?
By default a green thread is the atomic failure domain. A 'panic' in this green thread is isolated, but sends an uncancellable notification to anyone who subscribes to it. You can tie multiple green threads together so that when one goes down the others do too.
