It’s 2047 and Erlang 187 is released. It features cluster control, in which nodes can form freeform subclusters using access policies. This greatly reduces the risk of “one breached, all breached”.

The BEAM is the defacto standard for communication between everything. Drones, Frigo’s and even ancient cars (some manufacturers still produce cars for nostalgic reasons).

Elixirforum is no more as everyone knows Elixir and you can openly talk about it everywhere as everyone understands you. It didn’t happen everywhere overnight, but typically gradually.

• Rust is no more. A Rustian wrote a thesis about automatic garbage collection and how it makes development so much easier. The hype was real and they found a new hypetrain to jump on. Rust in peace.
• Use of Typescript declined. Not sure why, but a small creature didn’t care and mumbled Not Problem Mine.
• People think Erlang is an offspring of Elixir. They are shocks this is not so as if you tell them Torn from Nathalie Imbruglia is a cover.
• Python is now known to be a popular game in which you have to swallow pixels to grow.
• Other languages shined for a moment but their momentum disappeared along with X and Twitch.
• PHP is upcoming. Its 21st rewrite made it a compiled, fully functional, heavy garbage collected language. It’s even more forgiving than PHP 4 and functions arguments are randomly shifted between minor version to keep everyone sharp. Who ever knew it would survive after PHP 17-20 were skipped! This new version is inspired by a thesis and draws many developers who lost their battles with a strict compiler.
• Go did years ago what is promised us from the beginnen. We have no idea where it went.
• an Elisp flavor of Elixir is shipped in Emacs so you don’t need the BEAM on a system. Just (let them be)
• NeoNeoNeoVim sees light of day. Its config is written in COBOL for good reasons you can find (…gotta find them somewhere…). Very promising.
• Java copied everything from the BEAM. Async, agents, supervisors. As a result, you can run any Java program on the BEAM. With unlimited inheritance of course.

I believe elixir will be used in multi-agent systems in drones.

Would be great for the future of drone logistics with respect to delivering goods or more crucial payloads like medications.

Elixir will become sentient and overthrow all the world’s governments. A few humans will be kept alive to enter prompts into chat gpt to generate elixir code.
