Django vs Phoenix

It’s ok to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of platforms (so long as it is done so constructively and fairly - and this applies to non Elixir languages and frameworks too) :smiley:

Phoenix has more to offer than just scalability though - LiveView for one :003: other things include it not having to be your application, just a component of it, which lets you build your app to suit your needs (check out PragDave’s course for more on this). I’m not saying Phoenix can’t be improved or extended to make it even more appealing (it can) just that there are enough compelling reasons to use it today (and, as we know, many people do).

With regards to learning resources, Elixir is incredibly lucky to have so many - check out our Books section. I don’t think there is any language that is of similar age that has so many.
