This might be hot take, but I really wish Elixir had more variety in its ecosystem -- particularly in its client-side ergonomics.

I absolutely love the language, the way it fits into the Erlang runtime, and especially Jose's stewardship. But Phoenix/LV don't jive with my brain nearly as well as Elixir itself does. Additionally, the push towards native development never evolved to a place where it could realistically supplant Expo & RN for me.

This probably sounds insane to anyone who hates how the TS/JS community has a million different frameworks, but I think the upside of all that chaos is that a plethora of new ideas that get explored, and the truly exceptional ideas end up getting adopted anywhere.

My gut feeling is that the Elixir world has a TON of amazing ideas that have yet to be explored.
