What does Starfish do? Their website makes vague references to "decentralized organizations", "focus on payments and banking". I cannot tell if this means it's all cryptocurrencies or what their work actually accomplishes.
Scrolling through their blog, I think something's getting lost in translation; their idea of a "decentralized organization" sounds more like a flat hierarchy in the style of Valve, but you've got to try to parse this tortured "starfish vs spider" metaphor to get there. https://starfish.team/blog/adaptive-vs-reactive-strategies-w...
Likewise, I clicked "portfolio" expecting some samples of their work and instead got another unintelligible sales pitch and a mailto: link. Their corporate culture sounds nice, I like their healthy attitudes toward remote work, but maybe they should get some native english speakers to edit their copy?
I look forward to typed-Elixir! Some interesting projects targeting the Erlang VM are Gleam [0] and caramel (ML-like, but unfortunately no longer active) [1].

I hereby officially announce the Elixir type system effort is transitioning from research into development: https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2023/06/22/type-system-updates-...
A huge thank you to Fresha and Starfish for sponsoring this new stage. They are also hiring:

Ive recently transitioned away from writing Elixir full time (nearly 7 years) to a role that uses a array of strongly typed languages.
While I still love the ErlangVM and Elixir, the benefits of typing are hard to understate.
So happy to see that I may get to have my cake and eat it to some day.
