> Elixir is cashing in on disgruntled shops frustrated with ruby but too incompetent to do scala/f#/clojure or potentially they were misled by uninformed hackers reading too much HN about how wonderful elixir is.

You’re a very disgruntled engineer and these are very subjective opinions.

I'm a jaded engineer, there's a difference.

If all the software bugs in the world disappeared tonight, I'd be out of a job tomorrow morning but I'd have one hell of a good morning.

The world sucks. I don't choose to hate it anyways, but in order to make good solutions, having a realistic grasp of how extensive the problem is facilitates better, more correct solutions/fixes.
