I've mainly used Ruby/Rails from ~2008 to ~2015 both for work and side projects/prototypes, then I totally switched to Elixir/Phoenix for almost all my stuff. I still use Ruby/Rails for some works (where/when I can't use Elixir due to some constraint).

I've found that Elixir and Phoenix have an awesome community and a fast-growing ecosystem. The language is very clean and I can solve problems in a cleaner and faster way. It has all the tools I need and runs on a simple but powerful virtual machine with stunning performance and easy deployement. I can use websockets and async jobs without running external processes/daemons and thanks to brunch (or webpack, it depends) I have a powerful toolchain for frontend. Speaking about frontend, I've recently moved from React to VueJS, it's a very decent compromise between React and Angular: simple like React, with features and concepts similar to Angular.
