No, I think your lack of language experience makes sense. Elixir, being functional as it is doesn't get caught up in the difference between functions/methods, and you don't have the mental overheard of grokking classes (which imo make sense once you get them, but take awhile to really get). Elixir distils down to pretty basic concepts of functions returning values and pattern matching and processes. If you can wrap your heard around those you've really got the language.
