I'm surprised that it's used in production at all. It's based on a new language that is years behind all the others in terms of available third-party libraries and modules.
- beckler 9y agoDoes the language lack some maturity? Sure. But you don't have to use pure elixir for everything. You can leverage most Erlang packages. Phoenix is hosted on Cowboy[0] which is a mature, battle tested web server written in Erlang. [0] https://github.com/ninenines/cowboy https://github.com/ninenines/cowboy
- ramchip 9y agoAll libraries from Erlang can be used as-is, so the gap is much smaller than you might expect. Phoenix itself is based on an Erlang web server.
