I don&#x27;t think you really <i>have to</i> learn a bunch more stuff, but I think it&#x27;ll be a really nice experience for you to learn a language like Elixir to in the end use Phoenix to set up a web page.<p>Not because you need it, but because learning Elixir and Erlang with a purpose will give you fresh eyes on development.<p>I think the above can be said about pretty much any language and their frameworks. Just learn to have learned more and you&#x27;ll be better for it.
