built my startup on elixir/phoenix. while there could certainly be a better selection of libraries, its not that hard to roll your own and elixir has straight up features that you can't replicate in most other ecosystems

Ecto on it's own should be a good enough reason to use Elixir!

I concur.. once I wrapped my head around the way ecto worked, I couldn't help but wonder why this wasnt the way every orm works. its lightyears ahead of anything I tried in node, rust or ruby.

I've used both Ecto and the Django ORM and I have to say that the Django ORM feels a lot more intuitive and seems to be incredibly powerful. Now granted I don't have more than a few months of experience working with each, so maybe there is some elegance to Ecto that I don't grok.
