Recently, I had a simple Flask project, just a single Python file, and wanted to convert it to Elixir using AI. But what I got was a sprawling directory of modules and files in Elixir. Apparently, that’s just how things are done in the Elixir world. That moment made me realize why some languages catch on while others struggle. If spinning up a basic web server already feels like jumping through hoops, I can’t imagine the overhead for more complex projects.
I'm sure there are people who think Elixir/Phoenix >> <other-solutions>, but for me it was a nightmare.
OTOH, the language is beautiful as it's macros all the way down.
