As someone who spent a long time in Ruby land, the last thing I want right now is another dynamically typed language.

I'm a big fan of Erlang and OTP, and really wish for that style of concurrency, failure tolerance and distributed computing. For me, the lack of static typing in Elixir struck me as a missed opportunity from the outset. The Ruby-like syntax isn't enough to change the game for me (I find it significantly less attractive than Ruby, but that's not important), even with macros.

Since I don't use Elixir, the above isn't necessarily a criticism of it -- I'm sure it's great. Just not for me.

Go is what I'm using now, and I've been playing with Rust and will probably start using that when I have a new project. I've been using Haskell for some side projects. I like OCaml a lot, but I won't touch it until multicore support lands and matures. For web projects, my plan is to transition everything from JavaScript to TypeScript, precisely for the type system.

No more dynamically types languages except for scripting.
