I remember Jose Valim’s work on this in Ruby ~15 years ago. And then he went on to create Elixir and we never looked back.

How would you compare Ruby/Rails to Elixir/Phoenix these days, based on completeness of framework, language performance, concurrency, etc?

Ruby hasn't stopped either and the last few years have seen a lot of improvement in it's concurrency story. I still prefer it to Elixir, that's just personal preference rather than a weigh up.

Memories here as well! Was working in Rails full time back then and dabbled in Elixir to some very fun experiments.
