Looks like a big waste of time and resources. They're probably just trying to use the "coolest" thing without worrying about delivering things.

You would think but they measured what they need and they are sure that Elixir is the right fit for their use case. They aren't a CRUD company, like 99% of others. They are doing freaky things with multiple freaky orchestrations with multiple freaky OLD-WORLD institutions. Rails aint gonna cut it.

Fair enough. I personally think that companies for which the choice of technology is gonna be the primary factor to success are as common as unicorns. I have never seen a company fail because they picked the wrong language/tech stack. But hey, if they've measured, they probably know what they are doing.
