I've been following Elixir closely and recently built a super-simple chat app using Phoenix and websockets. I agree with other comments here that the docs could use some work, and as I also come from a Django background, rather than Rails, I found it a little magical for my tastes. However, once I understood how things go together, it was pretty trivial to get up and running. The included phoenix.js library makes the websocket pub/sub stuff ridiculously easy.
I'm really interested to see where Elixir is going, and to try building something real with it. I'll probably use Phoenix, just because it's the most active, mature framework. (I like the look of Dynamo - https://github.com/dynamo/dynamo https://github.com/dynamo/dynamo - but not sure how active it is.)
