In addition to that, I struggled to find a well maintained library similarly to Devise. Also, many people won’t agree to me, but Ecto is also a kind of pain. I think Phoenix would have been in a better position if there were libraries like ActiveRecord and Devise.
Probably there's no one in the Elixir community with enough know how to build a Devise-alike lib, it's what it is.

Getting hang of functional programming takes time. Writing code elixir way requires unlearning what you have learning from imperative languages.
> Scala Scala isn't exactly an imperative language. If anything it's the actor model isn't exactly easy to wrap your head around
I was talking more about Java/Python. Also Scala has inheritance and OOP. Which don’t exist in elixir has only map.Map + additional field is struct in elixir.
Function capture, enumerations, pattern matching, implicit return and tuples returning status is what confuses new people.
Most try to implement some kind of inheritance in elixir.
Actor model is in OTP. Process, supervison, actor and messages are concepts of OTP. Elixir does not have actor in in its language constructs.
There is no replacement/alternative for OTP if you want distributed systems.
Many tried to reimplement Erlang in their languages and failed miserably.

Very satisfied with Elixir! I think it just fits my way of thinking. I love the terse, but explicit code, the VM, OTP, pattern matching, working with immutable data, integrated tooling, documentation support. The community is great, too. The popular packages are top-notch, but as others have said - there might be issues finding what you need. My personal experience seems to be the opposite though - when going from El…
