- pdimitar 6y agoIronically Elixir has become a personal favourite and I find it amazing for backend web work, especially API gateways -- although it does very well with server-side rendering web projects as well. It's my main work tool (very close second is Rust). But I fully get what you mean. Working with it and learning it has been a very strong eye-opening experience.
- tcbasche 6y agoI really enjoy the tooling as well. I feel like these days tooling can be just as important as the more “tangible” benefits of a language. The Phoenix code (and test!) generation in particular is just magnificent, not to mention docs. Pythons most lauded doc generation tool Sphinx on the other hand is just complicated and confusing.
