That's not been my experience. Whenever I have mentioned the lack of arrays/vectors in the past I have been inundated with Elixir devotees asking me why I need them when Elixir has maps with numeric keys at which point I just throw up my hands in despair.

Not denying it. Every community has bad apples.

It's not charitable to make assumptions for the entire community -- or the tech stack itself -- based on them however.

Seems like you've been chatting with the wrong people. A lot of the ElixirForum regulars -- me included -- are very practical and realistic folk who use several languages all the time.
