Ruby, Rails, React, a dash of Ember but not for a while now. Elixir, Phoenix.

Elixir, Phoenix

Lately I've been building out a real-time pair programming app, https://github.com/sophiedebenedetto/phoenix-pair/tree/allow-multiple-typing, built on Phoenix with a React front-end.

Talk to me about learning Elixir, especially from the perspective of a Rubyist. Talk to me about deploying Elixir and Phoenix to AWS (I still really cannot figure this out, so by "talk to me" I mean, "tell me how to"). Talk to me about Rick and Morty :)
