  1. I use go pretty regularly, because I like it, but it's not what I get paid to use.

  2. I'm only about 70% sure that Elixir is a programming language and not a typo or something you made up. (I'm kidding... But only just barely kidding...)

  3. If you're concerned with employability, neither language would be in my top 3. (Python, JavaScript, SQL)

Source: I pick up new languages for the lols, and have coded professionally, for money, in about a dozen languages.

More relevant: I hire developers. Some of my team want to write new code in go, but I've instructed them not to, for now. They've never asked about Elixir.
