Just because it hasn't taken over the world it doesn't mean it's proponents adorations are baseless ?

I agree that the article falls flat on providing descriptive reasons how Elixir compliments machine learning. But that shouldn't be an argument against the product, but rather against it's cult following that does not provide sufficiently detailed and advanced examples and explanations. Something extremely common in tech journalism.

Good ideas and technologies do get underappreciated and wide spread adoption I would wager is not at all correlated to quality. Javascript, c++, java and others are good examples. Yes they have taken over the world at one point, but there are better designed languages out there. It just seems that people don't want to relearn a new paradigm and you can write software on anything.

> how Elixir compliments machine learning

one simple example: what Jose Valim calls Distributed²

You can have a livebook (similar to notebook, but distributed and live) and distribute your load not only on multiple GPUs on your machine, but on multiple GPUS on multiple machines

with basically zero effort
