All I'm saying is that language popularity and size of the ecosystem is very important... So important, in fact, that whatever marginal advantages Elixir proponents may perceive are irrelevant. The language just doesn't define the writer nor the coder. A good coder using a so-called 'horrible' language will produce much more maintainable code than an average coder using an 'amazing' language. OK, some languages are more geared towards certain problems, but how much better does Elixir have to be for a particular problem to warrant all the downsides (especially in terms of network effects)?
