I must admit that I have not (yet) played with Elixir. It looks very exciting though!

I don't do much "web stuff" with Erlang. The closest I go is probably HTTP-based control interfaces for other services (routing, validate input, do something in the system and return a response).

I usually turn to Python and Django when I want to create web stuff. Generic views, the forms API, DRF, admin, and an ORM that integrates well with all of the aforementioned are godsent if you just want to get something online quickly.

I still have old Django project that I wrote for a customer back in 2007. Besides upgrading Django two times a year and updating the ui a little it has been running w/o problems ever since. And I still find my way around the code instantly.

I have yet to try something that comes close to being as convenient to work with.
