The last thing I want Elixir to be is shoehorned into the web app space and community of Ruby, but it seems inevitable. Oh well.

- angersock 10y agoAmen to that. Ick.
- amorphid 10y agoI've been writing Elixir for almost a year, and have yet to build a Phoenix app. I did write a Plug hello world app once, just to see if my container was wired up correctly.
- enraged_camel 10y agoThis might be a controversial thing to say, but Ruby would be a pretty obscure language today if it wasn't for Rails. If you want Elixir to remain obscure as well, keep hoping that it doesn't get picked up by web developers and Rubyists. I for one want the language to eventually overtake Ruby in popularity (hopefully with Phoenix overtaking Rails). So yeah, the more individuals and communities that adopt it, the better.
