I've been using elixir / phoenix / liveview for a year now, basically since LLM coding has been a thing and it's been transformative. The usual "getting started" problems were so diminished that i feel like i hardly missed a beat. The usual "this won't compile / how do i do this in a new unknown language" issues that previously could have taken hours to resolve were basically gone. My LLM pair programmer just took care of it. Coming from python / django / cue, it's a breath of fresh air. It's so much easier as all the paradigms come built in with the stack (async workers, etc). The elixir / erlang library is surprisingly complete.

With regards to producing code, it seems to be doing very well. The most impressive thing it did for me was a PDF OCR from scratch using google cloud. All i had to do was plug in my credentials, hook up the code and it just worked. Magic.

Highly recommended.
