JBoss was great back in the day. I remember when there was a JRuby port of it called Torquebox that I loved.

Eventually though, I found Elixir and it gave me everything I was looking for from that stack.

Yeah, same, but Elixir gigs aren't as common as Java gigs. However, if one ends up in a Java role, chances are that Elixir would be a good porting target for the systems since it typically can replicate the architecture but with less fuss and has pretty good support for interfacing with Java.
