Joy of Elixir
Why is there so much Elixir hype on HN at the moment?HN shouldn't be used as a propaganda hype machine. I've seen all the language hype cycles,Year 1:PHP sucks! Node.js is awesome! Everyone must use Node.js!Year 2:Node.js sucks! Go is awesome! Everyone must use Go!Year 3:Go sucks! Rust is awesome! Everyone must use Rust!Year 4:Rust sucks! Elixir is awesome! Everyone must use Elixir!... And of course you get the odd Haskell article every so often.Communities are promoting their stuff too hard - They are setting up their users for disillusionment and disappointment.
