I picked it up pretty quickly as primarily a JS dev at the time. I’ve also worked on several projects where I’ve pair programmed with a dev new to the language. They’re usually pretty productive within a few days. Not writing their own DSLs or going deep into OTP, but productive in terms of writing application code. Phoenix is pretty straightforward for those who have experience with Rails, Laravel or a similar full-stack web framework.
