Podopi was built in Elixir, a functional programming language I've never used before. Elixir is widely different from JavaScript/NodeJS and the tools I'm used to. It made the learning curve quite steep, but somewhere halfway down the path it all started to "click" for me. Elixir is a beautiful language that comes with many benefits from running on the BEAM (Erlang virtual machine). Phoenix/Elixir comes packed with many great features that makes it possible to ship products and features quickly, with confidence.
