Erlang definitely does a lot out of the box without needing to rely on other systems and that's a great thing, but we're hearing claims about "fast" and "more maintainable" and I'd like to see more details.

I used Erlang at the last place I worked and like it a lot, but Rails is pretty good too in my book.

For me, it's "fast" meaning developer time. A typical first pass at a Rails view might be 300ms vs. 300 micro secs in Phoenix. This extra headroom represents hours of optimization I don't need to do, in order to stay under 200ms per request.
