Mental bridge from Ruby to Elixir?

Many of us try to promote Elixir by talking about more complex scenarios such as massive scalability, fault-tolerance, and high availability. I believe that this leaves many people with a feeling that Elixir is an overkill for their smaller-scale problems.

Having a talk which showcases how in simple scenarios you can do a bunch of things with Elixir alone, without needing to reach for external products, might help people understand that Elixir is not only made for large-scale systems, but can also do wonders for smaller ones.

…ideally up to the point where people would look at a problem and think “Rails would be overkill for this”

some sort of “Elixir Recipes”

^ I like where this thread is going Elixir Recipes could be some sort of community-driven Wiki maybe.. Or at least a blog post.

Thank you everybody!
