As someone in the ecosystem, I've found a noticeable uptick in job postings the past few years. I haven't applied for such jobs so I can't personally attest to it.

After gaining some recent experience in Go, I'd still choose Elixir for any web project. Phoenix/Ecto/Absinthe/LiveView are all extremely productive libraries for web projects. Tooling/infrastructure work may be another discussion.
