For me Elixir didn't feel too much like Ruby, but Phoenix sure felt a lot like Rails. YMMV since Phoenix has gradually become more and more of its own thing than it felt like in 2016 when I learned it. There's really nothing I miss about Ruby for web dev and Elixir feels like a complete win to me these days. Ruby is still far nicer for unix-y scripting, though.
