Programming in [Elixir](https://elixir-lang.org/) sparks joy, just like Ruby.



Building [Phoenix](https://www.phoenixframework.org/) web apps feels just like Rails, with no magic.



In this talk Delcan will compare Elixir and Phoenix with Ruby and Rails. He

will explore how Elixir addresses Ruby's concurrency limitations opening the door to building highly concurrent, fault tolerant, scalable systems.



Elixir might just be the next Rails.
