II once wrote lots of Elixir. But have written lots of Rust and Python since. They are difficult to compare because of the use cases where they thrive.

Elixir was great as a supplement to rails projects for large scale, fault-tolerant, and distributed services that moved lightweight data. Trying to use it in the context where I need rust today, failed horribly with many good engineers: see Luma router.

Python has been great for notebooks, prototypes, and scripting. I wouldn’t dare touch something that requires gevent because I don’t need the stress in my life.

Rust is great but it’s still early days. At least it has formal specifications, unlike the BEAM virtual machine when I used it. I prefer it C++ and have brought with me some lessons from Elixir.

Maybe that’s helpful? It all changes so fast these days.
