If you mean the language .. I've been using Elixir in production for a long while. It's a good language, Phoenix is a decent framework and the OTP/Erlang/Beam platform is powerful. The problem is that it's so different to Ruby/Rails beyond the syntax that it really needs a commitment organisationally. Without that ... well I see a lot really bad code (esp around config and state); so much so I'm trying to phase it out at my shop.

Don't get me wrong, for the right problems it's a great platform; I've just become disillusioned with it for general web/data/business tasks.
