Ruby is an incredibly flexible language.
Elixir & Phoenix are great, but I'm quite confident whatever you're doing in Elixir/Phoenix - you could, with minimal effort, also do in Rails.
The reason to use Elixir/Phoenix is not because of pattern matching - it's because of the BEAM VM.
If you don't need it or want it - you're probably better off with Rails.
- saltcod 4y agoooh been wondering this for ages actually. (I've played with Rails a bunch, but never E/P) Why do you say you'd prob be better off with rails?
- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoTHE point of using Phoenix is to run on the BEAM. If you don't want or need that, there's really no reason to use Elixir/Phoenix. Ruby on Rails is much more widely used - so you're going to be able to find more community support & libraries & integrations than you will with Phoenix. Why tie your hands behind your back if you don't need the BEAM?
