🔗 Thoughts on Elixir, Phoenix and LiveView after 18 months of commercial use

I’ve been leading a team developing an application using Elixir, Phoenix and LiveView for the last 18 months and accumulated some thoughts on the stack. For the most part, it has been a very pleasant experience.

Compared to my initial evaluation of Elixir that I’d done prior to diving in in earnest, it exceeded my expectations in terms of availability of tools & packages and the overall quality of dev experience.

Prior to Elixir, I was working primarily with Elm which probably colours my experience, but I have used a bunch of languages and have switched from static to dynamic types and back several times.
