A great keynote from José!
What I took from it and “the next five years” is that Elixir has reached a level of maturity, and where it has met many (if not all) of its original design goals …hence won’t be changing too much in the near future.
I think this definitely instills confidence, and will, I’m sure, push many who have been on the fence about trying it to give it a go
The bit about the type system made me

I love the whole philosophy of having a small core - and great that it is getting quite mature now.
