Ask HN: Why isn't Phoenix/Elixir more mainstream?
Hey all!
I've been a frontend developer for years, primarily working with React and Vue, connecting them to REST or GraphQL APIs. Lately, I've been diving into Phoenix/Elixir, and I've been intrigued.
From the docs and examples, Phoenix seems to offer a significant amount of built-in functionality, potentially providing a more streamlined and robust approach than the separate backend/frontend architectures I've been using.
However, I know there's always more to the story. For those experienced with Phoenix/Elixir:
What are its pros and cons compared to popular frontend frameworks?
Why hasn't it gained as much traction as other frameworks?
Appreciate your insights!
