I’ve always been curious about it as I have a soft spot for functional languages. The primary motivating driver is to learn to use the Phoenix web framework. I enjoy building web apps, and have done so in Node.js, Ruby/Rails, Python, Go, and most recently, Rust. However, none of these languages has felt enjoyable for building web applications. I had an idea to build another app and wanted to test out Elixir/Phoenix.
