* Bus factor of 1?
* No visibility of improvement process (i.e. PEP)?
* Long term support?
How would you resolve this? do consultancies that build projects for clients in Elixir are aware of that? or notify the client of that?
The core team is made of six members: @josevalim, @fishcakez, @ericmj, @lexmag, @whatyouhide and @true_droid. We have more than 500 contributors on GitHub, it is an accessible codebase. The areas where the bus factor is actually 1 are very rare (and when I can I delegate work to minimize that).
> * No visibility of improvement process (i.e. PEP)?
All planned improvements are currently in the issues tracker: https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/issues. It is a short list because it is a stable language and the focus is on the ecosystem rather than the language.
Proposals are sent before hand to elixir-lang-core mailing list for discussion.
> * Long term support?
List of consultancies currently involved with Elixir: https://github.com/doomspork/elixir-companies#consulting
Plus Plataformatec has been doing and supporting Elixir for 5 years and Erlang Solutions has been supporting Erlang for way longer than that and they also provide Elixir support.
I was hoping to catch you here or on IRC :)
