    On the flipside Spotify is starting to use Elixir. I don't think it matters until there is a mass of companies moving away. I see job ads ever so slowly increasing but heading in the right direction. And I never hear of people moving from Elixir to Node, Ruby, PHP etc. They are usually coming from those languages and enjoying Elixir.

    Kotlin's a solid enough choice. Jetbrains do have some quality issues with respect to the IDE plugin (which is being merged into the IDE) but hopefully they'll get there.

    Curious about the opportunity cost here and why not adopt things like typespecs and static analysis tools like Credo and Dialyzer?

    Is Elixir slowly dying out?
