I've been observing Elixir and Phoenix from the outside for 4 years or so now. There was a lot of initial hype and it died down a little bit but I'm really happy to see how far it's come and how polished everything looks. The lack of static typing initially made me pause but maybe it's time to get over it. As someone who tends to program in a functional style anyway (if a language supports it), losing the overhead of OO paradigms would not be a deal breaker and probably pretty liberating.
