MODERATORS
I use
gopretty regularly, because I like it, but it's not what I get paid to use.I'm only about 70% sure that Elixir is a programming language and not a typo or something you made up. (I'm kidding... But only just barely kidding...)
If you're concerned with employability, neither language would be in my top 3. (Python, JavaScript, SQL)
Source: I pick up new languages for the lols, and have coded professionally, for money, in about a dozen languages.
More relevant: I hire developers. Some of my team want to write new code in
go, but I've instructed them not to, for now. They've never asked about Elixir.
