When I think "enterprise" I think large companies, and in that regard I think the answer is less clear.

For smaller, more agile shops I'm sure there's more Elixir adoption as people look for alternatives to Ruby.

I've never seen any job statistics, nor do I have any useful anecdata.

We are definitely "entreprise" (1k5 employees, FTSE 250) and all new devs are in Elixir. Coming from mainly php.

But it is also following a strategic turn and an organisational change.

Toyota, Comcast, Sky, Adobe,Square Enix are the first "entreprise" names that come to my mind for elixir
