Comment on Rust vs. Go: Battle for the Back Endparent

Comments

For backend almost certainly the winner is Elixir. It’s been slept on for years.

It might be a winner but who is going to employ you to write Elixir?

I’ve been around long enough to see the underdog beat the well funded #1.

Linux beat Windows, PostgreSQL beat MySQL.

I'm not sure either of those examples is true. For servers, Linux won, but that's just a fraction of OS usage. MySQL still has much higher usage rates than Postgres, particularly at massive scale, so calling that "won" is premature at best
