Having worked with elixir for a year i can say that actor model is an amazing tool for concurrency i cant say the same for elixir and its ecosystem. Dont get me wrong elixir is an amazing project witha n amazing community, but often you feel locked into blessed ways of doing things(looking at global config variables in umbrellas, phoenix and ecto), what other libraries you can have instead of phoenix and ecto on web dev front? I know that phoenix and ecto are quite modular, but the rails like approach just didnt stick with me. So why i moved away:
- configs
- frameworks and blessed ways approach
- overuse of use directives
- map string/atom keys and pain points related to that
- need to use rust/c/c++ when i do need to do something fast
- packages are sometimes unreliable(eg amqp sometimes loses the connection without a reason)
So im right now evaluating rust/clj/scala for my next projects
