That's not the greatest of endorsements to be honest.

The scale at which Bitcoin exchanges operate at is pretty impressive. Dismissing that due to Mt Gox's poor security is ridiculous. Plus, I don't think the exchanges you're thinking of used Erlang/Elixir.

I did not mention MtGox.

What exchanges use elixir?

Based on my limited googling, at least Bex.io

An industry tends to congeal around a single technology for implementation (for example, Python in bioinformatics), so if bitcoin exchanges will start using Elixir, that is interesting

[lectrick]

Why not? New things tend to use new tools, so it's understandable.

We're not talking about MtGox here, which incidentally, was written in ::cue disdaining programmer voice:: PHP ::end cue::

Languages take a while to get traction. Sometimes a long while.

I'm a big fan of Elixir. I really love it and really hope it does get traction, because I would like to be paid to write software using it.
