I looked at it a while back. Even played around with Elixir, which I liked as a language quite a lot. But the deployment and configuration for Elixir&#x2F;Phoenix&#x2F;Ecto was pretty horrendous. Lots of dependencies, lots of tweaking, I think even NPM was required too?!<p>I do have fun bashing Go, but I also use it. It&#x27;s too practical not to. And the Go team, above all other of the latest wave of language that are ready for production, got that 100% right. I just can&#x27;t overstate how simple Go makes setup, deployment, and updates. And how complex Elixir is in comparison.<p>I wish Elixir et al. could have a zero dependency, zero external configuration, and single&#x2F;xcopy file deployment too.
