What is absolutely right is the lack of up-to-date tutorials for Elixir, especially for Phoenix. I tried some of them: at Pluralsight - outdated neither the author nor Pluralsight do absolutely nothing to point it out or change the current situation! I've read both books by Pragmatic Programmers: Programming Phoenix 1.4 (pragprog.com/titles/phoenix14/), (the actual version is 1.5.3), and Programming Elixir 1.6 (pragprog.com/titles/elixir16/), as well as Phoenix for Rails Developers by Elvio Vicosa, followed the best tutorial by Dave Thomas (codestool.coding-gnome.com/courses...), and still stuck very often when developing a web app or just a single module in Elixir. It feels unusual compared to Ruby/Ruby on Rails situation, when after just reading both books on Ruby Language and Agile Web Development with Rails [3, 4, 5, 6], you are almost done to start-up, backed up with a huge gem ecosystem and community support. Sure, Elixir and Phoenix do also have Slack channels and forums, but you will have to weight it twice before choosing between Elixir/Phoenix and Ruby/Rails.
