I feel such comments doesn’t help anybody. A language or framework can make the most difficult part of your app easy, it’s not meant to make overall app development a piece of cake. Ex: Phoenix framework can help you build apps with real-time communication easier. A PHP Laravel can help you get basic SASS crud app faster and cheaper. Building a robust real-time application using PHP will always be harder than Elixir / Phoenix.

For the above mentioned example of warehouse and connectivity issue, I don’t know how elixir Phoenix will have troubles and PHP will make it seamless. With bad connectivity any application will find it difficult to connect to server. Whether you do it over web sockets or http doesn’t matter.

Well, let me put it this way Phoenix LiveView is still in beta and constantly changing. That's a no-no for any average programmer. Yes, use it if you feel like you can do it but I have heard too many "I can't find any solution to this and that" stories from the land of Phoenix. PHP/JS/PYTHON/RUBY is a safe bet for any average programmer. Are you above average or at least you have a will of a tiger to push through the problems you encounter, sure go with Phoenix. By the way, that's the rewording of the first sentence of my original post.

Elixir reminds me of a poor-man's Haskell. Sure it's intellectually satisfying and elegant and "mathematical/logical", but the reality is that most people are not willing to spend months or years trying to force make their brain work in a different way, when a language like PHP or Python just clicks with how an average person think.

I don’t know why I’m getting involved in this nonsense but this comment leads me to believe you’ve never actually tried Elixir and are piercing together gripes people have had. How is it any more “mathy” than any of the non-Haskell languages you mentioned?

For anyone thinking to replying to liberonostrud, Please don’t feed this troll.

Making a comparison of Haskell with Elixir like this just gives us even more indication that you have no idea what you're talking about. Elixir is nothing like Haskell, in more ways than one. I don't have the energy or will to explain further considering your stubborness in your ignorance.
