HN community should stop promoting Elixir. It ruined many companies by depriving them of talented developers and it also ruined the careers of many developers by preventing them from becoming talented.

Pure functional programming makes it easy for beginners to avoid mistakes but it limits their growth and prevents then from learning about proper blackboxing and separation of concerns.

You cannot learn blackboxing without co-locating logic and state. It is an essential coding skill.
