<div dir="ltr">I just started a new project and momentarily had a very short thought that I might use Elixir. My crusty old engineering persona took over and started asking questions like, "why would you do that?" - then I got back to work building software.<div><br></div><div>I strongly prefer the Erlang syntax over Elixir, especially for actual functional programming.<br><div><br></div><div>I've have had a problem getting colleagues to adopt into Erlang, and I believe I have a handle on why [1]. I think there are some solid answers to "why use Elixir" if you're considering the problem of adoption. If you are working alone or in a small team that is already proficient using Erlang, I personally would just go and start your work and be happy you aren't being forced to use Java, or Ruby, or Node.</div><div><br></div><div>How many bridges did I burn here?</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MvKLOecT1I">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MvKLOecT1I</a></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Feb 26, 2016 at 12:28 PM Andrew Berman <<a href="mailto:rexxe98@gmail.com">rexxe98@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hey Fellow Erlangers,<div><br></div><div>I was curious if any of you guys have switched or are contemplating using Elixir for your next project.
