Ask HN: Elixir in the Wild

9 points·juandazapata··7 comments

I'm trying to figure out how companies are using Elixirlang.

Can you fill this short survey? https://t.co/YoAUjerR5J

Results will be public after 1 month.

It's a bit odd asking to fill out a survey rather than merely asking if anyone uses Elixir. Anyways, I've been trying to keep tabs of companies that have been using Elixir, here's a small list:

Rosepoint Software Discord Undead Labs (now defunct?) Dockyard Thoughtbot Carbon 5 Whisper (I think) Etsy Bleacher Report

And for Erlang: WhatsApp Facebook Messenger (I think)

If anyone know differently please correct me if I'm wrong :)

I have an "Elixir in the Wild" series of blog posts about people and companies using Elixir on my blog: http://blog.jordan-dimov.com/

You have to provide some more background, it's a lot of info that we have no reason why it's being asked.

There's no mystery. I just want to understand if Elixir is being used in the real world (other than enthusiast programmers doing side projects) and if there's a demand for Elixir services.

Email, Name, etc are optional to fill.

Is this a marketing survey? It starts asking for company name, website, address.

It's not a marketing survey, I'm not asking for an address. The email is optional.

I just want to understand if Elixir is being used outside toy projects and if there's a demand for Elixir developers.
