I feel like an anti-evangelist. I actually like reading complaints about the language...that just means there is less competition.
- K8s/microservices are better/standard.
- Elixir is too slow.
- Dynamically typed languages suck.
- There aren't enough libraries/ecosystem. And a lot of the libraries look like they are dead.
- No big companies use it for anything.
- It needs a better auth library, something like devise for ruby.
- It is a functional language, and everyone knows they are too hard to use.
- It is too difficult to hire good people.
But now, one of the standard complaints is gone. :(
This means invariably more people finding out that you can build incredible products with tiny teams. :(
Thank you Jose for your leadership and building an incredible community and ecosystem. Hopefully, as the language grows, this stays the same.
