I think it’s mostly people who are writing in Elixir are, at this point, already on the fringes of using “new shiny language” and would be more likely to us “new shiny front-end framework” in new projects.

I really like Elixir, a lot. I’ve had Erlang experience and I’ve never understood the hate around it’s syntax. Elixir is definitely more friendly in that regard and I’m glad it’s bringing the tremendous value of the BEAM and OTP to more mainstream development circles.
