The learning curve isn't too bad.
I've been a Rails developer for quite some time and am picking up Elixir / Phoenix in my spare time while building a single side project. This is my first real attempt at picking up a functional language too.
The project I'm building is an ambitious project (users, accepting stripe / paypal payments, lots of data modeling, real time aspects, decent amount of logic I haven't implemented in other more familiar frameworks, etc.) but thanks to the community and open source projects to look at I'm making reasonable progress.
Of course I'm not as productive as I am in Rails but that's because I'm only putting in a few hours a week into this project (while learning Elixir / Phoenix as I go).
