In me experience using Phoenix, it takes an eternity to compile. I imagine that turns a lot of folks off to begin with.

- johnmarcus 7y agoTrue when you have all the dependencies already compiled. If you are working with it in Docker though, it needs to compile the whole shebang the first time you start it up. It usually took 3+ minutes to get the day started. And any time an additional library was added to config, had to be restarted again. As opposed to something like go, which compiles in seconds typically. Naturally, different folks will have different experiences depending on how it's used. For myself, the long compile time was a turn off.
