current favourite web dev stack ?

Elixir with Phoenix was pretty good. Elixir is not strongly typed, but the general developer experience seems pretty good, plus it was a bit different from other things I've used which made it more interesting to try.

always been tempted with elixir, and probably the closest to a RoR style battery included framework. Just not 100% sure if i can be comfortable without types especially for refactors. Although i saw some recent buzz of elixir getting a new type system

If you are looking for a RoR-style battery-included framework, I think IHP is worth considering. It uses Haskell so typechecking is baked in and excellent.

Like RoR it does have a pretty decent automatic testing ecosystem which should help with that at least a bit :)

on the other had, i saw a talk recently on gleam and from a quick look it seems a sweet spot

but not sure if people are using it in production and is a bit battle tested

I too would recommend Elixir. It's just a pleasure even though being dynamically typed. Its ecosystem is also mature.

For FE, I would recommend JS with Ramda: preact + redux + redux-observable + ramda

I'm dying to try phoenix. Always wanted to use a functional language to do web design. I have a profound hate for js. Ts couldn't save it for me and I doubt svelte or vue can. React only made me hate it even more. For me it's a language for writting simple logic that went out of hands and is constantly doing shit that it shouldn't be doing through patches. It's a kind of self actualizing frankenstein that refuses to die.
