Looks pretty good, I like that they are highlighting the potential uses for elixir.

This is great! Now waiting for the forum UI update too! :)

Hoping Elixir continues to thrive. It is such a great language (and such a great language for AI coding too!)

Elixir is great.

OT: I wish more funding & development effort went into BEAM itself on making it more performant.

Note: I’m not talking concurrency. I’m talking pure raw performance.

Seems like it’s been a one person show for over a decade on making it faster.

Nice! The showcase of companies is really nice

To me, it seems one of the killer use cases for Elixir (/Erlang) is its distributed cluster capability. Does anyone have experience with that or case reports to share? I've used Elixir quite a bit professionally, but mostly as just a "nicer Rails" with horizontally scalable but otherwise independent Phoenix apps in your traditional Kubernetes setup, which seems to me to kind of missing out on its main purpose.

Ugh, it looks like all the other LLM generated language webpages. It's formulaic at this point. I'd hoped a language like Elixir would be able to hire some people to do it.

I prefer https://jank-lang.org/ new re-design, and the approach of a more step-wise refinement.

Why does it have like 0.1s animations?

Site doesn't work for me (older Firefox). Looks like there's no CSS and some Javascript error (probably makes it bail out loading the CSS?)

No mention of AI and LLM in the front page. Life is good.

Looks great! There are some style quirks with cutoff elements in Firefox 152.0.6: https://imgur.com/a/OtnESi7

I guess elixir is a nice lang for the niche of erlang. But its dynamic (the "type system" is really meh at best) its not suited for real world use.

If i go full dynamic, why not use pure erlang instead?

There’s no obvious way to switch to normal (aka “light”) mode. Dark mode is very difficult for some people (me included) to read.

If you must default to dark mode that’s your choice but I’d love to see a light mode toggle somewhere prominent.

I appreciate Elixir but the problem is the job market/talent pool is tiny compared to other existing languages.

If you buy into the Elixir stack then you now have constraint you could've avoided entirely by avoiding it.

Also for devs there seems to be no premium offered for this talent pool scarcity. With LLMs I think language-specialists are redundant in a large scheme of things. ex) at one of my current remote jobs, I shipped an entire telecom infrastructure with barely knowing Elixir and we brought on contractors to audit the code and they found no issues.

Elixir is such an elegant language.

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

José Valim & team have made such an incredible language and ecosystem. thank you for all the faithful work, especially the run up to 1.20 over this past year
