Not really. Elixir is maintained by a team and I am the only member of the Elixir team at Plataformatec. So even if I would no longer be supported (which is not the case as I will continue contributing in the same capacity), Elixir would still be in good hands.

Plus, the whole community and all other companies supporting Elixir did not change - and we wouldn’t get where we are today without them. Brex, Dockyard, and Erlang Solutions are three from the top of my head but there are many more. Also, don’t forget about Erlang Ecosystem Foundation, which supports all communities built on top of Erlang, including Elixir.

The trademarks will be transferred to the Elixir Core Team and we will take the appropriate steps next. EEF would likely be a good home but at the same time they have a more wide and general goal. Given the focus is exclusively in the trademark (as well as having an open trademark policy), a smaller entity may work better. We will explore the options over the next weeks. The important bit I wanted to get out in the announcement was simply that they wouldn’t be held by Plataformatec nor Nubank.
