If that reasoning would hold true then there would never be a new best/most popular language for a specific domain, but there are many counter examples.

And just as Elixir is (in my opinion) preferable to Python for web development, it's possible that the same may happen with AI.

I agree that it's a better choice for web development purely from technical standpoint (so ignoring things like smaller market for devs), but I'm biased towards it.

And yes, when it comes to AI, things also could change in favour of Elixir - I would be pretty happy about it.
