You lost me on the Elixir analogy. Elixir is great . I'll concede Elixir would not be well suited for a 3D physics engine or for writing hardware drivers.
Then that information is structured for a layman, like imagine brand-new devs walking into a bootcamp thinking Elixir is safe main language to learn based on YC hype. As good as it is, it doesn't have a big job market, has specialized use cases, and has the same dev environment/knowledge base of node/js in the late 2000's early 2010's.
