Existing Elixir shops probably aren't looking for fresh bootcamp grad level coders, and those grads' skillsets don't hold any weight until there's enough to start affecting new project decisions, which probably wouldn't have happened. Even Ruby is a stretch as a one-trick skillset for new developers without CS degrees, and it was quite popular well before bootcamps were: that's why they taught it. I mean, I love me some Elixir, but the result is that most of the schools would have closed within months and the graduates would probably not have gained much from them.
