Yeah, I found that weird. However, if I think deeply about it, given the move to micro-services and soa type architectures I can see elixir winning longer term which is really railsy. regardless, rails has a ton of influence and some great usecases, but I would say nodejs is about as vogue as rails was and will dominate for another several years. as a nodejs dev, it is super annoying managing the asynchornicity of node and the horrifying dependencies. I suppose rails had stability issues as well. If you read rails is a ghetto by zed shaw, it is interesting (albeit super biased) look at how and why rails developed. edit: As noted, elixir isn't comparable to rails the framework in that arena is phoenix which is similar (at least in function). Thanks!.
