I hope this project sparks some renewed interest in Elixir!
(That said, the linked site has basically zero information or examples)
Maybe there are better metrics to gage momentum.
In other words, many of the developers who want to be working with Elixir are working with Elixir, and are quite happy doing so.
Elixir's culture is engineering-ish. So you will see decent libs that deal with weird mechanism stuff, but lack of vibe and forces driven from business needs.
Its the reason I tell startups to use laravel or node instead even though I built my startup in elixir. Yes its a huge advantage for what we do (realtime synced apps for managing restaurants) but its overkill for most saas products that are just glorified crud apps. laravel is a huge winner there with its library of prebuilt apps that handle user authentication, billing, tenancy as drop in components.
Can you provide concrete examples for this? I work with Elixir every day and your statement does not resonate with me at all.
Integrating with third party services and doing mundane things are generally no harder in Elixir than any other language.
Now it wouldn't' be any harder to write these libraries in elixir vs ruby or laravel. The difference is there are well polished libraries for both those platforms you can just drop in and use. That makes what could be a week of work in elixir, about half a day in ruby by virtue of the work largely being done for you already.
If the library doesn't exist for either, then I agree, elixir isn't going to be any harder to integrate.
And then found out it was abandoned. But everyone is moving to open telemetry.
Pure anecdata there also. Literally just ones I have personally seen on clients or heard about from coworkers.
What gave you that impression?
