Elixir v1.1.0 Released
I took a look at Erlang/Elixir a while ago and didn't get too far into it after realizing there was no compile-time type-checking.<p>My main question coming out of it: if you are going to go with a dynamic language, why go with Elixir over Python or Ruby (or Clojure or Racket or ...)? These have a larger mind-share and a more broadly recognized syntax.<p>Granted, Erlang (BEAM?) processes are appealing.<p>If you are using Erlang or Elixir, why?
