It's funny because that slide shows why we use Elixir. With the clustering BEAM offers out of the box we've been able to eliminate things like memcached, redis, and rabbitmq from our production environment.

But most people wouldn't call Elixir "boring tech".

In the sense most people mean boring, Haskell with sum types, pattern matching, and pure functions is the most boring someone could ever hope to get.

However, most people wouldn't consider that boring either :)
