Have you tried Lisp Flavored Erlang [0]? I never got around to trying it out. I used Elixir for a couple of years, building web backends, and I truly loved the experience. I remember wanting to try out LFE but never got around to it before moving on to a different employer/stack.

I have and I did kind of like it but ultimately admitted to myself that I no longer want to use too niche or too new PLs. Elixir has a fairly solid ecosystem at this point and I am only going to switch to something even bigger (I already use Goland and Rust as well).

Love the idea of LFE but it needs a bigger ecosystem.
