It's completely unrealistic Elixir (or anything else - Julia, whatever) will replace Python as the main AI/ML language, that's what I wanted to convey. I agree I was being a bit too snarky but what I said is true and was an answer to what OP asked. You can't be that sensitive while reading internet comments, you'll have a rough time. As for my past comments on Elixir - I tend to remain factual. I used to have a hard problem with the way the Elixir community was crapping all over Ruby to poach mind share but I moved on. Ruby also did that to Java when it was starting so that's life.

Yes, and I have replied we are not trying to make Elixir the new AI language either.

In any case, I was not speaking about this comment exclusively. It is a recurring pattern. But given you have somehow managed to make this my fault, I will drop the conversation. Have a good one!

I'm saying for anyone's own mental health, we shouldn't expect constant praise and positivity from comments. You're gonna read stuff you won't like on the internet.

It probably won't and I don't think that's the goal. However, Elixir is making pretty significant roads for distributed data processing pipelines thanks to the Broadway framework (https://elixir-broadway.org/).

AI/ML applications were going to be a natural next step after that. It's exciting for Elixir because number crunching was the biggest computational weakness for the language for the last few years and many thought it was a limitation of BEAM languages in general. Jose's work has shown that it's not.
