This is why I don't see the point of moving over to Elixir. Rails has ready-to-go and battle tested "modules" that you can pop in and go.
If I used Elixir now, I would have to wait for the community to build something battle tested or I can home-roll my own Elixir authentication. The Poster above just said, "It's a pain particularly user authentication."
- andy_ppp 10y agoIt's definitely a lot harder to move to Elixir and Phoenix but I've enjoyed learning FP and Elixir a lot; I've done it mostly to challenge myself and it's informed my programming in other languages.
- im_down_w_otp 10y agoI maintain that a web framework is probably one of the least interesting things that's enabled by a language like Elixir, a VM like BEAM, and a foundation like OTP... but... for whatever reason web frameworks have become the criteria by which we seem to measure languages these days. That said. A chat application is really, really well-suited to Elixir.
