Phoenix/Elixir is so niche I don't know how you can put it in the same line as Django/Rails/Node. There are major consquences to picking something so niche most companies will not go along no matter how awesome the tech is.
Niche? Maybe in some areas. There are at least 10 companies using Elixir within biking distance of my house. I've been working with Elixir professionally for six years and have never had an issue getting a job or hiring people. Things may be different in your area.
Yes, niche, as in not in the top 50 in Tiobe index, as in less than 25k people on the Elixir subreddit, as in around 1000 jobs in the whole of the U.S which is a fraction of the popular stacks.
Niche. No matter which measurement I go with Elixir isn't anywhere near the top 20. The third one (spectrum) is actually a combination of 11 measurement metrics, so before you yell at me that Elixir devs don't use Stackoverflow - Elixir isn't niche only on Stackoverflow. It's just niche, period.
