Core libraries have reached stability and engineering hours are switching to making easy what classic imperative/OOP paradigms have trouble doing: - Dynamic web development without giant Javascript dependencies(Liveview, Drab, etc) - Scalable distributed systems without giant teams (Firenest, Phoenix Channels/PubSub) - Concurrency and data-infrastructure (Flow, Genstage, OTP) - Reactive event-driven systems: OTP and the Actor model makes event-sourcing easier than you'll see anywhere else. - Usual conveniences: User-management, HTTP clients/libraries The next 2 years are going to get wild for Elixir.

For sure, and sockets are first class citizens and testing is at the forefront for all these things. Elixir is going to kill it.

And there's a lot of potential there for game backends as sort of a neat bonus. Just saying. : )
