Re:Elixir and Phoenix after two years

As a Rails dev I have to say: Why trying to dethrone Rails? I don't get the Elixir obsession with Ruby/Rails (yes Jose Valim came from Ruby - so what?). Ruby is smallish enough, I don't get the obsesssion with going after that segment.

from my experience, Rails is not really much part of the general discussion in Elixir/Phoenix world. Sure, a number of us came from Rails, and lots of 'new to the community' discussions might hit on that, but that's a far cry from being 'obsessed' with dethroning Rails.
If anything, my impression is that a significant portion of the community still uses Rails for many of their applications, and some occasional grumblings aside, it's not a big deal.
