Elixir at PagerDuty

This. If I was a CTO I would never ever choose Crystal, or Elixir, or Kotlin. Give me a proven, "old", battled tested framework with tons of resources that's easy to teach, learn and get sh done with. I'd choose PHP over Elixir for a new business.

I get the idea behind your comment, but without context it's pretty stupid. There are plenty of use cases where Elixir might be a much better choice than PHP, but it depends entirely on what you're trying to do. I sincerely hope you're not a CTO of a company where PHP is not the right approach...

(that said, I do agree that often PHP is a fine choice, and people might overcomplicate things needlessly by choosing something else)

I can't tell if you're trolling here or you geniunely don't realize that the foundation of Elixir is older than PHP.
