Really enjoyed reading about your experience with Phoenix and Elixir. Thank you for writing this post! I agree with your take on Metaprogramming. So far my biggest WTF moments come from some under the hood magic, applied in what feels like unnecessary ways. Like all languages and frameworks there's no way to enforce clear programming. It's up to developers to maintain good discipline and keep their code understandable. That said I still find Elixir and Phoenix a lot of fun to write with!
