I wouldn&#x27;t be that excited about Elixir. The part which is Erlang in disguise is relatively solid, but why do we need Elixir then? Erlang has been around for 20 years. The other part is highly opinionated and far from being consistent. Polymorphism based on map with predefined field as a structure (i.e. class) name? Really? &quot;with&quot; construct returning failed value (assuming you follow special protocol, otherwise it doesn&#x27;t work)? VM is nice, but I can&#x27;t imagine anything big built with Elixir. Need performance? There are much more consistent Clojure services, faster Scala&#x2F;Play, Haskell&#x2F;Yesod if you really need something special.
