The addition of types to Elixir will undoubtedly be a game changer for the language. By providing more robust tooling for developers, particularly around compile-time type checks, Elixir is set to attract a broader audience of developers who prioritize software reliability and performance. This evolution will make the language more appealing, especially in industries where these factors are critical, thus significantly expanding its userbase.

While I appreciate the elegance of Elixir, I find its ecosystem to be currently insufficient for the diverse and fast-evolving landscape of modern software problems. There's a need for more comprehensive libraries and tools to fully support enterprise-level applications.
