A comment on Mint, a new HTTP library for Elixir.

A lightweight serverside Elixir framework like this is exactly what I was looking for earlier this week. Phoenix is really clunky in my opinion and pretty foreign (Ruby/Rails-like) coming from a lightweight Flask/Express/Go background.

Ouch, this is not a server library but a client! We updated the title of the blog post since it wasn't clear, not sure if we can update it here as well :\ Sorry for the confusion!

Phoenix is just some additional libraries around Plug. The reason it’s so popular is that there’s almost no performance hit compared to using raw plug unlike a lot of other frameworks.

If you prefer something more low level, then you can look at libraries like Plug, Maru, Raxx and others.

I'd recommend using plug + cowboy for your web layer and if you prefer to do away with some of the more prescriptive parts of phoenix.

Maybe we should package it together as PlugBoy?
