Ask HN: Is Elixir Still Relevant?
2 by linkdd | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Few years ago, I was developing in Erlang and a bit in Elixir. That was very enjoyable, because the features of those languages (and especially the OTP framework) makes many things way easier. I've been looking back at Elixir for a few weeks for one of my project, and I'm worried. 95% of the libraries I would need have not seen any commit since a few years. What's more frightening is that most libraries listed on awesome-elixir[1] seems to be unmaintained too. Almost like the Elixir community died 5 years ago (which I do not believe). Is this normal? Would you trust a seemingly unmaintained library? If not, would you implement all of that work from scratch? [1] - https://ift.tt/1y7Io5t
