/ Phoenix and Elixir

As AI reduces development costs, Rails systems will be rewritten—not into more Rails, but into faster, safer languages. Elixir and Phoenix deliver fault tolerance, effortless concurrency, and massive scale with fewer servers.

Learning Phoenix isn’t just smart—it’s inevitable. AI-assisted development plus Elixir’s advantages makes this the natural evolution for web applications.
