Building a Reddit-like site after 3-4 months learning Elixir

I don't appreciate the "Elixir is growing" commentary in the title. That's not justified because a person wrote a program in it.

And somewhere else someone stopped using it. One person doesn't make a trend as the title claims.

Arguably this post will lead to net-positive growth. I'm certainly going to try it after having read the top comments.

I stopped using it just to throw a wrench in your gears.

Grind this thing to a halt!

(...no, actually Elixir is pretty cool.)

Agreed that that is not a logical conclusion given that evidence.

It is, however, likely true based on the evidence that each ElixirConf so far has doubled the number of attendees of the previous year.

Search trends for the language seem to be growing, although not seemingly strongly: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%2Fm%2F0pl075p

Yeah, the post has nothing to do with Elixir's growth. Simply "Building a Reddit clone in Elixir" is a much better title.
