Elixir is not owned by Big Tech

We all have varying degrees of exposure to Big Tech. Some of it seems fine, stable and can be relied on. Some of it feels like shifting sand under your feet. React seems to move a lot on whims, I don’t envy tracking that. Go seems like it might be fairly stable? With the current geo-political climate I don’t find massive corporations to be a guarantee for stability. People may be getting fired even though they chose IBM. The world is wild right now.

I guess not many companies need the scalability that Elixir/Erlang offers.

honesty question, how popular is Elixir these days? is it gaining traction or did it become a completly niche language?
I remember that 6 or so years ago a lot of people was talking about it.
Many ruby users were moving to Elixir but recently I hardly hear anything

I’m sure Elixir will eat some portion in market share. Give it some time.
