Hard to argue against anecdotal evidence one way or the other -- my view is probably skewed because I usually avoid big companies.
RE: microservices, yep, that's one of the ways to scale Elixir teams to more people indeed.
RE: one-man armies, agreed.
> I'm not trying to sell Elixir here. I think it has benefits in smaller org size that mellow out and equalize as a company grows.
No worries, I am sold for 8 years now. ;)
And yes, the benefits kind of plateau from one dev count and up I found. That was kind of the core of my comment, too.
> Also, startups should always work in whatever language is most comfortable to founding team.
Oh, absolutely. I love Elixir a lot but won't shill for it if I find myself in a situation where it would be a bad choice. Plus in startups development speed is probably the biggest asset of the programmers so I am not judging. (Though I don't want to work for startups anymore.)
