Author here. Amusingly, I wanted to link to the HN discussion on the page, but couldn't figure out how to... I don't think it's possible! Something I hadn't considered until just now with a content addressable web is there are no cycles in the links.
Edit: Another amusing anecdote. I've been following this on log2viz (the heroku realtime performance monitoring tool), and was aghast to see high response times and memory usage. Then I realized I was actually looking at the dashboard for one of my rails apps! Phoenix is sitting pretty at about 35MB memory usage, and a median response time of 5ms, so far.
