Bootstrapping a multiplayer server with Elixir at X-Plane
The core of the X-Plane server is our RakNet UDP protocol, which is open sourced under the MIT license here:
https://github.com/X-Plane/elixir-raknet
It's not a full game server, but the "Usage" section of the README provides a sketch of what the rest of the server (the part that implements the business logic) looks like.

Happy Elixir user here. At work we have a use case that isn't covered by José's high-level overview of the domains Elixir's used in: we run a massive multiplayer game server on it.
This is actually a really good fit. (It kind of rhymes with the original use of Erlang, being telecoms infrastructure.) We get outstanding concurrency support, high reliability, and really efficient development times. I can't imagine shipping this feature with a server written in C++ (the language I'm most comfortable in), and I can't imagine scaling it the way we need to if we'd gone for a traditional web language like Node, PHP, etc.
If you're interested, you can see the RakNet (game networking protocol) implementation we use on the server here:
https://github.com/X-Plane/elixir-raknet
The README gives a good overview of the full MMO server's architecture, too: each client connection is a stateful Elixir process (not to be confused with a heavy-weight OS process!), acting asynchronously on a client state struct; clients then asynchronously schedule themselves to send updates back to the user.

What are some good questions to ask in an interview for an mid-senior elxir developer.
Ideally yes. Or you could implement with ExVenture.
