There's also Charlie Stross (@cstross), from "Dude, You Broke the Future" (2017): <i>When I write a near-future work of fiction, one set, say, a decade hence, there used to be a recipe that worked eerily well. Simply put, 90% of the next decade's stuff is already here today. Buildings are designed to last many years. Automobiles have a design life of about a decade, so half the cars on the road will probably still be around in 2027. People ... There will be new faces, aged ten and under, and some older people will have died, but most adults will still be around, albeit older and grayer. This is the 90% of the near future that's already here.</i> <i>After the already-here 90%, another 9% of the future a decade hence used to be easily predictable. You look at trends dictated by physical limits, such as Moore's Law, and you look at Intel's road map, and you use a bit of creative extrapolation, and you won't go too far wrong. If I predict that in 2027 LTE cellular phones will be everywhere, 5G will be available for high bandwidth applications, and fallback to satellite data service will be available at a price, you won't laugh at me. It's not like I'm predicting that airliners will fly slower and Nazis will take over the United States, is it?</i> <i>And therein lies the problem: it's the 1% of unknown unknowns that throws off all calculations. As it happens, airliners today are slower than they were in the 1970s, and don't get me started about Nazis. Nobody in 2007 was expecting a Nazi revival in 2017, right? (Only this time round Germans get to be the good guys.)</i> <http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2018/01/dude-you-broke-the-future.html> Multiple HN discussions: <https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=%22dude%20you%20broke%20the%20future%22%20points%3E10&sort=byPopularity&type=story>.

You've listed some nice qualities of Elixir but none of them necessarily make learning it worthwhile given a finite amount of time to invest. Do Elixir's ideas improve your thinking when working on other languages? Are Elixir developers in demand compared to other languages? Is it a fad language? https://insights.stackoverflow.com/trends?tags=elixir Questions like this probably reveal more important qualities of an investment.
