Elixir is a nice functional language. Not as purely functional as Haskel mind.

It is based off of Erlang and runs on the Erlang VM. Syntax is Ruby inspired. It is not a high performant language (like C, Rust, etc), but it excels at distributed computing and fault tolerance. There is excellent documentation and tooling for it as well.

Pretty much this. Once you put it on the internet it's out of your control. It might disappear, it might not. Best just to assume it won't. Unless it's useful information, then it probably will.

They used to burn books. Now they just defund information storage services.

Same here: too lazy to fiddle around with stuff. It works, is Arch based, and satisfies my needs
