2. Is it actively maintained? (How) are issues dealt with?
3. How popular is it and what is the trajectory?
I don't want to be the first person to run into all the issues. I'll let the kids do that, they love shiny new technology.
I don't want to invest into a stopgap technology (like Coffeescript). My gut feeling is that Elixir is one of these technologies, it has some good ideas that will probably show up elsewhere in due time.
I do value "XYZ sucks" posts to some degree, but unless I already know the technology reasonably well I probably won't be able estimate the impact of the issues.
