I’ve already used Phoenix several times, but I’m interested in your thoughts about Elixir frameworks similar to https://javalin.io or http://sparkjava.com/ if there is any. I can’t find too much info about this, I only find info about Phoenix.

Using just Plug as your web server may be enough in a lot of cases.
Most (all?) Elixir libraries designed to be used in a web app provide a plug out of the box. So if you find Plug lacking some functionality you need, it shouldn’t be too hard to find a library that implements it.

You can pass options like
--no-ecto,--no-brunch,--no-htmltomix phx.newin order to leave out parts of Phoenix you don’t need. What exactly is not lightweight enough for you about Phoenix?AstonJ
Phoenix is already a lightweight framework
We do have other frameworks in Elixir, but I would say that generally they exist to offer different styles of development.
Also, in case you didn’t know, Phoenix has been described as ‘more than just a web framework’ in the sense that it can be used as a thin layer inside an Elixir app… multiple times
If that interests you, the legendary Dave Thomas goes into detail about it in his online course.

I would love to hear examples about this in regards to Phoenix. I.e. something you wanted to take into a different direction and it is getting in your way.
The only one on top of my mind is getting connection parameters in your sockets, but that is being fixed for v1.4.

You’re right of course that the conventions are important, they make it easy to tie together the libraries and contribute to the “framework’ish” part being so small.
