At this point is isnt trying to convert a happy python user like you. Rather to give tools to teams whose app is already in Elixir and the devs knows Elixir. Instead of bringing in Python to the mix you can use Elixir


Elixir dev you are describing and we use Python for ML stuff because it’s easier to work with the more documented frameworks. These libraries just aren’t “there” yet, and I think it’s important to be honest about that. I’ve tried extending/converting to them, and it just wasn’t worth it yet.

Exactly. These projects are still during early adoption stage.

While it is production-ready and many are doing so, getting there requires improving documentation, discussing roadmaps with maintainers about a feature you may need (perhaps even contributing it), giving presentations (at your company or at events), and so forth. This can be exciting to some, but a distraction for others. There is certainly plenty of work ahead.
