I use Elixir about 30% of my time at work. I feel like 75% of my code/architectural sense comes from studying how the Elixir community does things - the quality of discussion in the forums and issue trackers is amazing and generally packages feel quite comprehensible. It's a breath of fresh air and clarity after React Native and Rails - there are a lot more resources for those two, but I find myself doing a lot more digging through noise.
Learned on the job, I get a little recruiter email about Elixir specifically but there are definitely less companies that use it. There's reasonable chance I'll end up in Go or Clojure for my next position but even if I were to never use Elixir again the learning will have been worth it.
