Hi,

Thanks for the links, I will had them in my research ! I know that optimization is evil when we start to develop a project. But like others said in their replies, if the language and/or the framework are slow, optimization will be needed earlier than with other languages.

About the question "is this better than that?", it was the first title of this post. I thought that it wasn't the good question. Then I asked myself "Why do you want to compare Java Spring with Ruby on Rails?" and I knew that it would be a debate that I had already read on the internet ! ;) What I really wanted to know is the experience of others about this language : why they left it or why they chose it. I'm glad to see that the community bring me a lot of answers that I didn't find on the internet before. :)

Thanks for your reply !

No worries.

I think it's important is to find the balance between speed of development, time to market and available skills. If it takes you double the time to develop in Elixir instead of Spring and then you have a system that only you can work on, the "superior speed" might not matter.

That's my point, sorry if it wasn't clear earlier.
