@alfie13 I’ve heard a bemusing story of their tech stack.
They were successful early adopters of Elixir and OTP, but somewhere along the way decided to make their own macro-heavy OTP replacement to “eliminate boilerplate”. (source: grape vine)
So they crufted their own questionably good internal dialect, then released a FUD-y Elixir -> Kotlin article citing shortfalls of:
- Development Speed
- Learning Curve
- Maintainability
- Community, ecosystem and tooling
They never gave much back to the community, but it’s perhaps better they didn’t.
Their competitors and partners (Ramp and Teller respectively) still use Elixir.
