Phoenix liveview gives you almost-spa out of the box with relatively little fuss. Of course if you want dead routes you can have those too. You get the safety of a pragmatic fp with escape hatches for stateful stuff (like db access). The designers came from RoR so it really takes care of a lot of easy to screw up things, but they also removed a lot of the super hard to understand RoR magic. It's future-proof too, if you want to bolt on say machine learning, or data processing pipelines later, that's becoming a real thing in the ecosystem. I was watching a video on someone writing an Ethereum indexing system in go. One frame had their super complicated concurrent processing system, and my eyes bugged out. Also they claimed there was a concurrency bug. I wound up writing an equivalent in elixir in about a week, no concurrency bugs.
