Reimagining a new Elixir web framework with no Rails roots or MVC/*VC

You might find some inspiration from the Nitrogen Web Framework. It’s Erlang – not Elixir – but plays well with Elixir projects. I’ve been using it for the better part of 10 years with lots of success although my use cases are generally adding a little web UI to otherwise non-web applications (think data processing pipelines).

Statements like this garner emotional reactions.

Coming from rails, to express and node, then to Phoenix, I don’t see any “aged concepts and approaches.” I see a framework built on hard learned lessons about “magic” frameworks like rails and “mini frameworks” like flask and express.

Your post about Mar was really good and showed a bit more of what you’re looking for.
