Joy of Elixir
Why is there so much Elixir hype on HN at the moment?<p>HN shouldn&#x27;t be used as a propaganda hype machine. I&#x27;ve seen all the language hype cycles,<p>Year 1:<p>PHP sucks! Node.js is awesome! Everyone must use Node.js!<p>Year 2:<p>Node.js sucks! Go is awesome! Everyone must use Go!<p>Year 3:<p>Go sucks! Rust is awesome! Everyone must use Rust!<p>Year 4:<p>Rust sucks! Elixir is awesome! Everyone must use Elixir!<p>... And of course you get the odd Haskell article every so often.<p>Communities are promoting their stuff too hard - They are setting up their users for disillusionment and disappointment.
