I am tired of having to justify “Why Elixir?” so I decided to compile all the reasons in one place.
"#0181: Why Elixir? A Rebuttal to Common Misconceptions
Why Elixir is not just a good platform for modern development, but a great one!"

Elixir is not owned by Big Tech

We all have varying degrees of exposure to Big Tech. Some of it seems fine, stable and can be relied on. Some of it feels like shifting sand under your feet. React seems to move a lot on whims, I don't envy tracking that. Go seems like it might be fairly stable? With the current geo-political climate I don't find massive corporations to be a guarantee for stability. People may be getting fired even though they chose IBM. The world is wild right now. Not all languages have the same exposure.
Congrats to @supabase for raising $200M! 🙀 I barely scratched the surface as their customer but I can definitely see the potential and can't wait to leverage their tools more. This is also good news for #ElixirLang! 💜
The 2nd Elixir Meetup Kiel is happening soon! Join us for an evening of functional programming, learning and networking. ✨

Backpex 0.11 has recently been released. We have removed the Alpine.js dependency in favour of native Phoenix LiveView JS hooks. Read more in the release post:
Backpex v0.11 release - removal of Alpine.js dependency We’ve just released Backpex v0.11. This release focuses on the developer experience by removing Alpine.js as a dependency and making the installation process much easier. So you can finally remove Alpine.js from your application if you only installed it because of Backpex 🎉 Note that you’ll now have to add our custom hooks (see the upgrade guide for more information). Key Highlights: Replace Alpine.js with JS hooks Add external up...

Great to see how much thought is put into the #elixir type system:
"Data evolution with set-theoretic types“
https://dashbit.co/blog/data-evolution-with-set-theoretic-types
We explore how set-theoretic types could address how many statically typed languages do not allow libraries to evolve their public data definitions in a backwards compatible manner. The proposed solution aims to be automatically verified by the compiler and type safe.
