My current job uses a mix of Java & Elixir. I definitely feel the pain of using the Elixir client when the Java client offers so much.

I also encountered some pain with the AWS client for Elixir when our company implemented SSO. There was a lack of support for a certain flavor of environment variable if I recall correctly. It's not horrible, just a pain.

sure, but which languages would be capable of dodging the "not enough libraries" complaint if java is the baseline? Maybe 2 or 3?

> C#/.NET, Go, JavaScript/Node, Ruby, Python, C++, and PHP probably all do way better than Elixir in third party support.

hard disagree on all but c++, .net and maybe python

I think people forget erlang has been around a long long time and I've written ruby for years and can speak with great confidence that the equivalent ruby libraries in elixir are typically much higher quality
