It's very nice updating Elixir, having no breaking changes across my many projects and it then the compiler just finds bugs for free. I'm so spoiled.
The stability of the language is such a blessing.
I think that's part of the reason that LLMs do so well with it, despite its relative lack of popularity.

Which models do you use for elixir?
All the leading ones I've tried work mostly fine: Claude Sonnet 4.5, Opus 4.5/6/8, GPT 5.4/5, Kimi K2.5/6, GLM 5.1, and so on.
They can all write serviceable Elixir. Opus is my preferred one, but they do decently well enough for typical coding tasks.
Claude seems to work well.
