I also ran a startup in Kathmandu (OLE Nepal). It was super fun, exhilarating, and ultimately not as successful as I hoped. May you have better luck! Sadly, Nepal has made zero political progress since I arrived there in 2006 :(

elixir doesn't have a mature framework like Rails, but I could easily see using Elixir for things that I would use sinatra for. Key Advantages: * better performance * easier to write services that stay up thanks to OTP * better memor
