Is Elixir useful in anything other than Embedded/Web development?
I liked Elixir but will it help me do stuff other than Embedded development and Web development? Should I learn Elixir if I am not interested in Web Development?

There is a big range of apps that Elixir is useful for. I’ve seen and done:
- Web crawlers
- Trading bots
- Messaging services (Whatsapp, Discord)
- Desktop apps (e.g. Wings3D)
- Command line tools & scripts (e.g. rebar)
But usage of Elixir specifically for webapps is at the moment the one use case with the biggest ecosystem support I would say
