I used to work with rails before. While it is fun to build stuff with it, it comes with a set of bothersome headaches: - too much magic - slow and painful to scale - too much metaprogramming - no compilation, makes it easy to hide syntax errors - concurrency is absent - frameworks like rails are too bloated All these are addressed on the elixir platform, and there are more pros: - immutability - mostly purely functional - well defined modules with good documentation
