Knowing nothing about how medical devices qre usually coded, I wonder if Elixir would be reliable enough for medical devices such as pacemakers, prosthetics with engines, insulin pumps, deep brain simulation, etc.
Elixir is not capable of real time performance, of course (scheduling is implicit and you can’t predict how many instructions will execute per second, etc). Actually, for most medical devices which don’t (or shouldn’t) accept a network connection, I don’t see how useful elixir would be.
But it would be fun.
