the elixir ecosystem doesn't have the "library for anything you could possibly need" benefit that you find with rails (and probably django too)

As an elixir dev I am wondering what exactly you’re missing?

most recently, maximum matching over a graph (edmond's blossom algorithm)

That actually sounds like a perfect use case for a Rust NIF in Elixir, since graph matching can be a performance issue

Ruby/Rails has this?

ruby does indeed, as do python and javascript. here's the ruby library: https://github.com/jaredbeck/graph_matching

This claim is greatly exaggerated
