I feel like these benchmarks always put rails in a tough spot. Let's choose bare bones frameworks and compare it to a fully loaded framework. Oh wow, the bare bones ones are faster?! I'd be concerned for them if they weren't.

Elixir's goal is _not_ to be a micro framework. Perhaps it does less than Rails now but its philosophy seems to be more similar to Rails than Sinatra, see talk from the creator http://www.confreaks.com/videos/4132-elixirconf2014-rise-of-....

And we're already seeing people mixing up Elixir with Phoenix...just like Ruby and Rails. Good sign. :)
