I disagree, and I think this sentiment is due to a failure in messaging from the Elixir core team and community which is a shame. There is a huge focus on LiveView (which is fantastic) in the Elixir community, but Elixir is so much more than LiveView! Even just writing a simple rest API (or GraphQL through Absinthe) is a great experience, due to libraries like Phoenix and Ecto. It's a joy to work with, even if you aren't writing a distrubuted/realtime system.

I wish there was more of an embrace in the broader ecosystem rather than the focus on LiveView.
