I can understand JS over PHP, but Python over JS? Not to mention Java over Ruby…

I personally don’t trust these “Top X for Y” type articles. They are almost always biased. More reliable “Top X for Y” can be a collaborative article that is a summary of long debates and discussions. And no one will ever have time or energy for one of those.

Hi @AstonJ, @mafinar,
When I saw Java in at number 5 on this list I thought “Great! I’m still relevant”.
But looking at the comments, the general consensus disagrees with the list. Elixir seems to be the language of choice on devtalk. I get the impression there are very few Java developers here which surprises me.
A poll to get an idea of what languages we professionally work with, or what types of products we are building at our workplace, i.e. Mobile apps or web applications would interesting.

Finally, what’s the attraction of Elixir and what types of products is it good for building? I’ve played around with Python, Scala, Kotlin and Clojure so wondering if Elixir might be of interest.
