Elixir... don't see that every day. I started reading through the code and was like "what the heck is an ex file?!!"

Never really seen Elixir before. Looks pretty nice.

Yes! I love Elixir :) Phoenix LiveView is really amazing. I feel so fast working in it. I got hooked after watching Chris McCord's 'Build a real-time Twitter clone in 15 minutes' demo, and things have improved a lot since then.

Elixir is a killer language and tool. It's considered esoteric these days but I think more and more folks are going to wake up to the inherent beauty of the Erlang BEAM and OTP applications pretty soon here.

Is Elixir really considered esoteric? There’s some pretty big businesses running on it.

It never took off as the Ruby killer. It hurts to say so because I agree with all the positive Elixir comments around here - IMO, people are missing out by not knowing of it.

The beauty of Ruby with the bulletproof-ness of Erlang.
