What are your thoughts on the phoenix framework? It's made in Elixir so it's super fast, but it has the MVC and "magic" of rails. Seems like best of both worlds to me. The only downsides I think are lack of a huge community like Rails and maybe even functional programming

Why is a functional programming a downside? It completely makes sense for the things you will use Elixir for.

There's nothing wing with it. I meant coming from an OO language like Ruby is s big learning curve

Ruby uses OO paradigms though. Yes it has functional capabilities, but it can also be OO as well.
