Agreed Elixir/Phoenix + Tailwind is at the sweet spot of scalability, performance, and bonkers productivity.

Real time? Need to go distributed? Maximize # of features / developer bandwidth? Cutting edge machine learning training & model serving?

Mobile? JSON APIs and GraphQL tooling is great, but https://github.com/liveviewnative is moving fast so this stack almost has the exodia of full stack, one language, and distributed actor model based scalability.

Honestly I continue to be amazed with each year of developments. The increased robustness of the greater Elixir ecosystem is unreal. The best part to me too is despite how active it all is, progress overall is very measured and sane. It also doesn't develop at such a pace that it feels exhausting to keep track of, despite all the great work.
What I like about elixir is that it feels like developing with javascript, but you're not delivering megabytes of js to the client

I am curious about this. Do you have more infos?
