I love the idea of elixir/erlang in robotics/embedded environments, and so from my research I can confidently say very few. As far as I can tell, when people do use it it's primarily for industrial equipment, and the main selling point is liveview/scenic for displaying information about the equipment.

I want to believe we'd someday see erlang/elixir all over the place, especially in flight software, due to their use of "lightweight processes" and high fault tolerance, but I don't see it happening any time soon, and I certainly don't see people hiring for it. I think it could solve some legitimate industry issues but it's too big of a change for too subtle of benefits
