Sheesh, why so much hostility? Elixir and Phoenix were created precisely to address Ruby's and Rails' shortcomings, and by noteworthy Rails contributors no less. They're incredibly good (paradigm-shifting even), the community is great, etc. They're also not mainstream yet, so it makes perfect sense to mention them. Just because you're tired of hearing about something it doesn't mean there aren't (lots of) people who have never heard about it. (See https://xkcd.com/1053/)

In fact, if you're tired of hearing about this, you might want to expand your bubble a little bit.

(I have no involvement with them, just a passerby.)
