The obvious parallel right now would be the introduction of AI (a known flawed technology, IMHO), replacing jobs of experienced engineers and experts in most fields, in a moment of social and political instability...

I am not a legal expert at all, but I guess this blurs a bit more the separation between open source and closed source...

It looks like the only remaining issue is the licensing model, which would need to consider the legislation on where the software is acquired or executed.

EULAs will probably be rewritten, lawyers will profit.

Not true. Not only that the OO is not dead yet. But the main obstacle for Elixir is that there are just not enough stable libraries. You couldn't get the productivity you can easily get on Ruby or JS. That Elixir is something to watch, and it may have some clear user cases (specially where Erlang shines), I would agree... but no much else for now.

Elixir has 30 years of erlang libraries to lean on.
