How come phoenix webframework website is built with Ruby on Rails?
I was visiting phoenix web framework website and I was shocked to see wappalyzer (Firefox Add-On) tell me that the website is built in Ruby on Rails. Do you guys realize this is not good for marketing the product? Just thought of sharing my concern and also see if there is a plan to build it in Phoenix.
Same for elixir-lang.com, it’s built with Ruby:

It’s possible they are using github pages, based on this header: x-github-request-id.

I guess this is partially compensated by the fact that Wappalyzer reports Erlang/Cowboy for ruby-lang.org

As you can see, Elixir’s webpage uses Jekyll, chances are that Phoenix’s website uses it too.
IMHO there’s no point to build a static webpage using Phoenix or really any other web framework. A static site generator is good enough, also there are some wins, like more choices to host your site for free, better performance, etc. Nowadays even blogs are using Gatsby, Jekyll, Nuxt.js…

A bit unrelated, but this reminds me of an old story from the late 80s:
