Honestly this is one of the biggest reasons I stick with Elixir. Between Elixir’s standard library, the BEAM/OTP, and Phoenix (with Ecto)—- I honestly have very few dependencies for web projects. I rarely, at this point, find the need to add anything to new projects except for maybe Mox (mocking library) and Faker (for generating bits of test data). And now that the Jason (JSON) library has been more or less integrated into OTP I don’t even have to pull it in. Elixir dev experience is truly unmatched (IMHO) these days.
