Is your comment based on experience with Elixir? How long did you work with Elixir professionally?

I guess you have some fundamental experience with Elixir, as you would not post some comment here if not?

Yes, that's the point.

Seriously i will not choose JS today if i have.a very specific requirements for choosing Elixir or Python (or any other stacks here).

In reality, people choose the stack they're get used to. But it's their limited ability to see JS strength to solve their issue in first place. It's not informed choice.

At the very end of the day, I think some people just don't like JavaScript.

At the risk of speaking for people other than myself, a lot of people don't want to write code in JS and if they don't have to, they won't. Frameworks/tools like Phoenix and HTMX or the fact that many languages can compile to javascript/wasm mirrors this opinion
