Not sure I agree on Phoenix. There are macros, but only around plugs and routing, not much different to what you’d find in Django and definitely less magic than Rails. Plugs are straightforward function pipelines and a declarative DSL really helps structure your routes. The controllers and channels, which are responsible for coordinating with your domain layer, don’t really add anything in the macro department. Plus there is no inheritance, which in my opinion is the biggest source of confusion on most OO frameworks, often requiring you to chase a behavior up and down the class chain.
