What's interesting is my company hired a bunch of ex-ruby/rails people who transitioned over to Python. A year later, we tried to explore elixir and all those ex-ruby devs were adamantly against adopting it - they figured async python would be better. Very odd, since I figure it would be easier to adopt if you come from Ruby... but perhaps the Ruby community isn't that into functional programming?

It was very interesting experience being a long-time Pythonista having to be like "Isn't this awesome language with a Ruby-like syntax great???" and being told nah, let's just use async python by people who had spent years writing Ruby code.
