Elixir-lang.org redesign

I just stumbled on a newly redesigned elixir-lang.org. :tada: It looks like @Software_Mansion did the work, and I think it is generally a welcome change. The old design was a bit long in the tooth. Congrats!

Is it redesign season or something?

I really like this new design even though it looks like a convergence on where some other languages are going. The syntax samples in the hero is always a nice touch IMO.

The logo looks dope. I will miss the old site, it was so simple and clean, thankfully I do have a downloaded copy of it.

I hope the Phoenix site gets a make over too. It’s long overdue for one!

This looks brilliant! Nice work folks!

The Phoenix site got refreshed a little while back Alvin :023:

To be honest, I preferred the original design – simple, clean, and built with the Elixir stack (which felt right for the language).

The website was built using a ruby site generator before. It was never built nor running elixir.

it’s great. at the end of the day, in all honesty, it’s marketing, and it’s doing a great job, especially compared to the old version.

but, precisely for this reason, it’s quite disappointing not seeing Ash in the “Use Elixir for…” section.

Everything mentioned in that paragraph is a strong pitch towards Elixir, and imho Ash is one of the greatest pitches for it. Of course “what to show about ash” and “what can you use it for” are questions to be answered, especially with such small room. But I’m pretty sure Zach can answer for that :smiley:

José is still open to migrate this to an Elixir stack Migrate to an Elixir SSG (tableau) ?? · Issue #1771 · elixir-lang/elixir-lang.github.com · GitHub

Oh, my bad. Thanks for the reminder, Aston.

Thanks for setting me straight – I was mistaken about the stack. I still hope it’ll be Elixir-based someday, though. And maybe that hope is what made me falsely remember it that way.
