How else do you explain a 23-230x response time decrease? Either it’s faster or it’s not. I’ve just shown you that it’s not faster. Benchmark Roda against Phoenix and you’ll see exactly the same is also true for the web workloads. There is no magic.

There's no magic of course. The difference in real world apps that many people in this thread claim are in favour of Phoenix comes from the responsiveness and robustness of Erlang's OTP itself. (I'll again reiterate that I rewrote a Rails app from scratch to Phoenix and thus accelerated it at least by a factor of 20x. I am just a working guy and have no vested interest in spreading misinformation.) A lot of web frameworks crumble or introduce abhorrent lags after a certain threshold of pressure. Elixir/Phoenix in comparison almost don't change their average response time until much later. Truthfully, after reviewing the TechEmpower repo for the last day and a half, I can only see their Fortunes benchmarks as being half-adequate. Most of their benchmarks are extremely unrealistic in terms of web apps usage. At this point I am not even sure what their goal is anymore.
