Is anyone still using Erlang for green field projects?

I know there are plenty of Elixir enthusiasts here, I mean plain ol' Erlang.

If you are still using Erlang, why do you prefer it to Elixir?

Yes, this year alone

- New IOT thing on atomvm.

- Application server written in erlang.

- TUI framework (still WIP).

Why do you prefer it to Elixir:

- Elixir doesn't pose any real advantage for me over erlang, i'm sure there may be be some, but it fits my brain easier. I'd probably even love to make it a social event to learn/get help, but I never seem to find anything that suits.

Can you provide some links? The IoT thing sounds interesting in particular.
I dox myself:

IOT basic (I have more sensors uncommited, but thats the basic outline )

My TUI framework (still a long way to go).
