Elixir 1.9 came out. No future core language changes are planned. There are no intentions of creating an Elixir 2.0. There will still of course be regular improvements and updates, but the core language is basically set. Read about it here:

If Elixir wasn’t an option for me, Clojure would be my next option. Clojure seems like it has a similar philosophy, and builds on a dynamic immutable core.

That being said I like writing code that can feel “done”. No “I wish I could refactor this object hierarchy to make it easier to use, etc” notions in the back of my mind. Not every piece of code is like that, but enough.
