Learnt a lot of new things , learnt Elixir/Phoenix, now learning Nodejs with Hapi framework.

While learning Nodejs, realised that JS isn't the first language anyone should consider for back-end, but really amazed by things JS is capable of doing today.

Would highly recommend Elixir/ Phoenix over Rails , Elixir not only has lesser learning overhead it makes alot of things a lot easier. Concurrency and speed of server are major advantages but I like way language operates. It was also my first functional language and it changed my perspective for programming languages.

Be careful. Elixir is the gateway drug to OTP. There's no going back once you get that taste of sweet sweet Actor-model concurrency.

I am already addicted but my organisation doesn't understand that. Node feels sloppy after that but have to work on it.
