I built approximated.app on elixir, proxying 300k+ domains. It's a great ecosystem, I've never seen anything else handle really hard problems so well in my 15 years as a developer. Concurrency? Trivial. Reliability? Unbelievable. (YouTube Sasa Juric's "Soul of Elixir" talk) Clustering/horizontal scaling? Built in, even across networks. Web framework? Competitive with the best (I'd argue better, with liveview but YMMV). AI/ML? Amazing support and tooling. Embedded/IoT? Incredible support with the nerves project. There's only 2 places where I feel it falls down a bit: 1) brittle dev tooling in ElixirLS that trips up new and experienced devs alike. Soon to get better though as competing LSPs are in the works. 2) no official release-as-binary tooling yet. Things are way better in the last few years for releases, and you're probably containerizing anyways, but I am jealous of e.g. Go's single file binaries. |
