I haven't used it, but the prospect of having to use a forum rather than Stack Overflow for Elixir help would worry me

Discourse (the platform used by ElixirForum) is built by Jeff Atwood one of the founders of StackOverflow. It is a really nice app to use.

Discourse is garbage but that's an ancillary point I think. Developers are on StackOverflow. If you have a C#, C++, JavaScript, Java, Python, Ruby, or Haskell question and you search for it online chances are it's already been answered on StackOverflow. If it hasn't there is still probably enough information to guide your future search.

"Go to the Slack channel" is not really an acceptable substitute for that level of independence in research.
