This is my journey with two leading web development frameworks: Rails and Elixir. Having invested years in Rails, I ventured into Elixir, captivated by its claims of high performance, resilience, and distributed systems. I admired Elixir and its Phoenix framework but encountered complexities when revisiting past code. On returning to Rails, I experienced greater intuitiveness and efficiency, especially with the innovative Hotwire design. Despite the unique advantages of Elixir, such as its Ecto library for complex queries, I felt more aligned and efficient with Rails. Ultimately, I decided to rewrite my Elixir-based project, Rauversion, in Rails, completing 90% in just two weeks, and I’ve had the opportunity to contrast the strengths and weaknesses of both ecosystems.
