I don't have that impression, but I also got into Elixir knowing that it's not as product focused and more hands on.

For me it was more important that I don't hate the language and programming paradigm I'm mainly using. For purely business oriented stuff or quick MVPs I can still use no-code tools, which in 2020 is really the way to go if you're solo or a very small team.

>It just feels like the forums have the same regulars shooting down ideas from anyone new, or feature request threads get little to no replies.

Most on the Elixir forums seem to be employees and hardcore programmers, not founders and business people. I think even the main devs are employed, this changes how you think about prototyping features or tiem savings if you're never really in that situation and work fixed hours.

I think that the forums are a great learning resource and people seem nice, I mean you can't say that they aren't pacient with you.
