I use Elixir (BEAM-based), with LLMs daily, on a fast growing site (current pace is 5 billion HTTP queries per year on a single front node).

Elixir is well handled by LLMs at this point, and we keep the “easy to scale and maintain” aspect (operational characteristics of the runtime are very good).

I can safely say that total cost of ownership is excellent.

All 3GL languages are looser in the AI age, beyond formal verification tooling.

I have done several experiments where, the only difference are a couple of paragraphs describing the technology stack for the AI tools.

Hardly any different than changing the target CPU architecture on a compiler output.

Quite sad, as now the fun of why language X instead of Y is gone.

Elixir is perfect for the ai age as it allows you to move a lot of orchestration safely into the application layer.
