2. This quote is kinda funny to me:
> Many of the engineers whom I work with, actively seek out Elixir specific opportunities because they enjoy the language and the run-time that much (I’ll be diving into specifically why a bit later in the post ). This is also supported by a recent StackOverflow developer survey where 68.2% of people working with Elixir, wanted to continue working with Elixir. For some comparisons, Go received a 67.9% rating and Javascript received a 66.8% rating.
It seems like OP is trying to make the point that Elixir is so special that engineers will actively seek out Elixir jobs ... and then cites stats that show that's true only 1% more than Go and Javascript.
Maybe I'm reading it wrong and OP is just trying to show that Elixir is only as loved as Go/JS, not better, but in any case the stat cited does not show Elixir is any more special than either of those other super popular languages.
(I'm currently an Elixir dev, btw. I like it well enough but I personally don't think it's enough better than Go or JS to justify switching when the community is still so small.)
