Phoenix is the closest, and while it's not exactly a Rails clone, it provides most of what you need to get started. It's similar to Rails in that there's a CLI to generate code, and frameworks for unit testing, DB modeling, templating, etc.
Where Phoenix really shines is its support for fancy stuff like Websockets and distributed messaging in your backend. Trying to do these things in Rails leaves much to be desired.
- treis 6y agoI mean more stuff like Devise for authentication, Apartment for multitenancy, ancestry for hierarchical data, etc. Seems like every common problem has a gem that solves it. Does Elixir/Phoenix have equivalents?

- treis 6y agoAre they as good as the Rails equivalent?
