Go vs Elixir

The main goal of these languages is concurrency, but both of these languages are used for two very different things. I want to know which one to choose for web development, or even a general overview of each use case.

Elixir is a functional language and quite different from the mainstream. Therefore it may be a bit more difficult to learn and master. But apparently it is excellent for building web applications, small or large size. https://www.amberbit.com/blog/2018/5/15/when-to-use-elixir-language/ Go lang is supported by Google and for a good reason: it excels in backend programming, managing networks and cloud infrastructure, with great performance and reliability. https://yalantis.com/blog/why-use-go/

This is just a little tid bit: Discord uses a lot of Elixir in their stack (along with Rust in some parts)
