- vezzy-fnord 11y agoI can't see how they would be much different from the use cases of Erlang/OTP, of which there are plenty of stories.
- arms 11y agoI'm interested in more than just the use cases (although still curious to hear why someone chose Elixir, whether it be for the language, BEAM, or whatever.) I'm looking for stories of why it was chosen over another language and what the end results were.
- hderms 11y agoWell neither will win any speed races, but if your problem requires soft-realtime functionality, concurrent execution, or incredible fault tolerance you'd do much worse than to choose Elixir/Erlang. And a simpler learning curve than many FP languages (in my experience, at least) sweetens the deal.
