The community seems stronger than ever. What was your experience of its fading away like? Projects like this don’t give the impression of a language falling by the wayside. People tend to fall in love with Elixir. You never forget falling in love.
might be just that core elixir is pretty stable. I haven't consulted the elixir forums in months because I rarely run into issues that require external help. I write elixir every day though. Would love to see more people get into elixir though for when we start hiring more people.
The most recent StackOverflow poll shows Elixir as having the highest percentage of people happy with working with it (over 70%), taking top spots among all tech languages and platforms … and is among the lowest for tech people wish they are using for work, but are not.
In other words, many of the developers who want to be working with Elixir are working with Elixir, and are quite happy doing so.

Seems like the volume of posts on ElixirForum.com is way down over the last 12 months.

I enjoy using Elixir but I've never been able to get into any of the forums, channels, etc.
Maybe there are better metrics to gage momentum.

The slack channel seems more active than ever.
I'm very active in Elixir but the forum just hasn't been my vibe.
