Ask HN: Why isn't Phoenix/Elixir more mainstream?

Hey all! I've been a frontend developer for years, primarily working with React and Vue, connecting them to REST or GraphQL APIs. Lately, I've been diving into Phoenix/Elixir, and I've been intrigued. From the docs and examples, Phoenix seems to offer a significant amount of built-in functionality, potentially providing a more streamlined and robust approach than the separate backend/frontend architectures I've been using. However, I know there's always more to the story. For those experienced with Phoenix/Elixir: What are its pros and cons compared to popular frontend frameworks? Why hasn't it gained as much traction as other frameworks? Appreciate your insights!
