I never considered “language stability” until your comment, but I think you are right. I’ve had far fewer dependency upgrade pains and a general feeling that bit-rot is slower overall.

They can all write serviceable Elixir. Opus is my preferred one, but they do decently well enough for typical coding tasks.
