We have also heard stories such as LinkedIn, Netflix and Twitter migrating from different languages (such as Ruby for Twitter) to Scala. How do you think this success story of building distributed concurrent backends compare to Elixir's?

Objectively: Scala is dramatically larger than Elixir as a language. Akka is much larger than OTP.

Personal, subjective conclusion: Scala is substantially more complicated to use and learn than Elixir (to achieve the same ends).

Personal, subjective remark: Scala is substantially more complicated than Haskell. It's just so big.
