Yes, it's technically easy but not socially easy. If I go to the Elixir landing page at "elixir-lang.org", it doesn't list the disadvantages and warts.

Obviously to us, they didn't avoid writing negative things because they ran out of disk space to store the text or didn't have the network bandwidth. The reason is that it's human nature not to do that. We have to find that alternative viewpoint from people like you (since you're interested in explicitly writing about some of Elixir's issues).
