What is yours agentic development experience with elixir? I used to like elixir a lot during a pre agentic era, but with coding agents it feels like the language isn't the best choice - slow compile time, weak type system (at least it was a year ago, I know there is work on that front), small ecosystem...

I find agents work well with Elixir, but you should reach for it when the product benefits from Elixir/BEAM features. A slow compile time is a minor annoyance compared to the greater architectural decision. Elixir hot-reloading with Tidewave works well for agent loops though.
