According to comments on a recent Ask HN post[0], most of the opportunities to use Elixir in industry are for consultants either (1) supporting subsystems abandoned by corporate employees who have moved on, or (2) assisting companies to migrate from Elixir to a solution easier to hire for, to avoid expenses and limited availability of help with (1).

Upsell opportunity would be to offer (2) after delivering (1).

Many of my customers are using Elixir for new startups or new projects. Probably over half.

The link is broken by the ">" at the end.

While you are right, the thread was explicitly named "Who regrets choosing Elixir", so I think there's a bias in the responses.

"Ask HN: Who regrets choosing Elixir?" You _would_ expect that post to be mostly failure stories.
