Elixir is such an elegant language.

I'm hoping to find a reason to use it soon.

Reading the Erlang ProgProgrammers book by Joe Armstrong made me a better Ruby programmer as it changed my perspective on functional programming and abstractions.

I first reached for Elixir when Ruby couldn't handle large amounts of websocket messages. It really shines in high-concurrency contexts. I also love Phoenix LiveView and have a couple of side-projects running on it.

its been fun building a multiagent personal assistant.

(wip, no guarantees, this is the engine i use)

Such a delight to use and the core team seems to always make the right decision.

I'm hoping to find a reason to use it soon.

Do you have a program that doesn't need to run fast?

I think most will agree that it improved on Erlang.

For me as a long-term ruby user, though, elixir is not quite as elegant as it could or should have been. Even simple things such as "defmodule Xyz do" feels weird to me.
