I'm new to Elixir (and FP in general), but I really like the language. I came across a couple of youtube videos on Phoenix , and it looks really nice (reminds me of Rails). I think something like Sinatra would be even nicer, for 2 reasons: 1. the standard these days is to have a rest api serving json to web/mobile clients, so a Rails-like framework seems overkill 2. Pretty much all my friends who are learning web dev on their own, find Sinatra/Flask way easier to get started with than Rails/Django. Regardless, Elixir (and Phoenix) is a great leap forward compared to the other options for building concurrent, reliable servers. I hope more people try it out before falling for hype/marketing (cough node.js cough mongodb cough cough)
