Not sure I’d agree with this tbh, we’ve had hundreds of jobs posted here on the forum and I’d hazard a guess to say way more than other similarly hyped languages that came out around the same time as Elixir, other than perhaps Rust but that’s by Mozilla. Just had a quick look at Ocaml and Crystal and they’ve only had a handful of jobs posted https://ocaml.org/jobs and https://forum.crystal-lang.org/c/jobs/14 yet we’ve had significantly more here.
One thing you could argue, as you could for Erlang, is that you don’t need huge teams like you might for other languages, WhatsApp is a famous example where their team compromised of just 50. In a way, that could prove a positive for Elixir in an age of AI, where in other languages the bulk of teams appear to be being cut/replaced by AI - so since huge Elixir/Erlang teams weren’t necessary to begin with if more companies adopt Elixir then it could even out. It’s certainly going to be an interesting few years that’s for sure.
