I can relate to that yes.  What kept me away from RoR is this strange community that seemed to stubbornly refused to look into anything else, believing that their technology was the silver bullet.  Maybe I was wrong, but that&#x27;s the feeling I got.  I have to say, the performance issues in Ruby always were a bit problem to me.<p>I would hate to see the same thing happen with Elixir which, I believe, can become an amazing technology and finally help give Erlang the recognition it deserves.
