Elixir people might cringe but why wouldn’t you just be 100% Go?

Go people might cringe but why wouldn't you just be 100% Rust?

Actual response: Some similarities, different goals, different strengths, different abstraction levels. Go is cool I hear but I don't see a need from over here doing Elixir.

In a concurrent environment Go is not guaranteed memory safe, leaving you exposed to silent errors of value ... which for Fintech is just suicidal.

Why not 100% Elixir, since it is more robust and uses less resources?
