Yeah. Rails certainly has a lot of influence over the developer experience aspects of Elixir and Phoenix. Love most of what that brought. Jose has really thread a needle with Elixir I feel. Rails has a strong reputation for productivity, it doesn't have the strongest reputation for long-term maintainability (though it can certainly be maintained). Or that's what I hear from the ex-Ruby devs in Elixir. I came via Python and I'd say the same of Django.

> Jose has really thread a needle with Elixir I feel. There was kind of something in the zeitgeist ready for this... This was a video by Gary Bernhardt in 2012 (that's like, Elixir -2 years?). I've queued it up to where he talks about basically wanting to go live on a cruise ship, fork rubinius, and rebuild ruby on top of erlang. The main chunk of the talk is about the software pattern that Phoenix and Elixir really tries to get you to adopt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTkzNHF6rMs&t=2400s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTkzNHF6rMs&t=2400s
