Re:Why am I interested in Elixir? by SMFloris on Friday July 05, 2019 @12:35AM (#20359867)
Elixir is an absolute joy to use. I love to use it whenever I can and coming from Erlang, boy its a step up!

It's just the Phoenix framework for which the initial setup of the project generator feels so opinionated. You have no options, no way to make a template for the generator. Phoenix's LiveView is a great feature and I want to use it. It's just Phoenix itself that feels off for me, not as straightforward as it should be. Does anyone else get this feeling?

You can still make a phoenix project without the generator.

I agree though that phoenix feels almost a little too heavy and opinionated.
