Had experience with a variety of technologies - and spent a great deal of time with Elixir/Phoenix and the platform really did perform well and impress me.

I had my fair share of "reinventing the wheel" with Elixir though. Before this, I was very much into rails but the absence of type safety and compiled code, seemed to be a minus.

After working with Node it seems very promising as we could basically write the entire stack in just Javascript or Typescript

I wanted to see what folks are using these days, and what seems to make more sense to begin projects now - the goal is to build quickly and be able to have some good long-term maintenance.
