That's where a lot of the fun of Elixir comes from I think. It's viscerally satisfying to split off functionality into what almost feels like an independent machine that happens to be in the same codebase. It clicked in a way normal object oriented programming never did for me, I guess since it's not feasible to mint 10,000 genservers to use as more complicated structs.

haha I was thinking the same thing. The code base of my startup is a monolith but in reality its a fork on request webserver sending messages to a collection of genservers actings as services.

In essence, creating a microservice with elixir is about the same amount of effort as adding a controller in rails.

Yeah.. rails hits this same nail with jobs.. I use jobs in a synch manner, and it's great. It's a rather functional way of working within an OO world.
