Dave and I started building this app together two years ago -- we both came from different ecosystems (Dave from Node, me from Rails). It's been incredibly rewarding for us to be on Elixir/Phoenix.

There's so much more to say about why Elixir is a great choice for webdev (I love Rails but probably wouldn't go back). This post gets to some of the high-level stuff we've learned -- happy to answer any questions folks have!

I feel much the same way. I might still pick Ruby/Rails or Django/Python if what I'm building is easily solved by the ecosystem, in a way that it isn't by hex.pm, but I'd probably err on the side of Elixir.
