I'm in the very early stages of building what will be a pretty large web app with Phoenix and so far I really like it.
I have a lot of prior Rails / Flask experience and minimal Elixir experience but you can still figure things out for the most part.
It's kind of funny but, even at this Elixir newbie stage I feel more confident reading and tracing most Elixir code vs Ruby.
- tres 9y agoYeah, it's interesting, I've had the same experience. There's not so much magic lurking beneath the surface. Things are relatively easy to track down when you do need to figure things out; otherwise, things are pretty intuitive. And when it comes to performance, threads and queueing, not having to deal with duct-tape and gum solutions like Resque (Ruby's "One Ring" (I love it and I hate it)) makes such a big difference.
