I think it's the greatest thing ever. I wrote like 300 words over two blog posts here: https://amattn.com/p/the_sublime_developer_efficiency_of_eli...

tldr:

- It’s quirky - There’s a learning curve - Taking the time to climb that curve can result in elegant solutions - The endgame is high developer efficiency

Not only that, but I find it fun and enjoyable. The ecosystem isn't the largest, but the other positives more than make up for the deficits for me.

I only started learning elixir around November or so last year and I've launched two SaaS products in the past 6 months.
