Just a note, this is more of a friendly rivalry than a real one. Our main core of the company is being written in Golang, but we have legacy core services written in Elixir.
My argument for choosing a language is always going to be code readability and developer happiness, because at the end of the day if you want the best performance than just write everything in assembly.
Unfortunately, right now a large amount of our services are being written in Golang, so it is seeming to be where we are moving to right now.
