Yes!

I have the great luck to work in many different stacks as a freelancer.

One of them is Elixir. While I am on this project for just half a year and not too many hours per week, I can say: I absolutely love this language.

It reminds me of Haskell, which I had courses on at university, and is just an absolute joy to work with.

My only gripe was that there was no typesystem. So I was eyeing Gleam (as I also like Rust very much), but as Gleam doesn't and probably never will support Ecto and Phoenix (due to it not supporting macros), it's a nogo for the project at hand.

I knew Elixir was to gain a typesystem, still this is absolutely fantastic news. Super stocked to work with this.



How did you score freelance Elixir work?
