I worked a year or so at an Elixir shop, and this mirrors my experience. I had to navigate to call sites to understand what I was being passed and type hints were not sufficient. Dynamic typing fails larger orgs/teams/codebases.

Fun to develop and solo administer. Small teams with a well known codebase can do amazing things. I work at orgs with multiple teams and new hires who don't know the codebase yet.

For me, the sweet spot is Go.
