I have actually tried to a make Elixir space sensitive but I was not comfortable on how it played out with the macro system. You can still see though some Python influences, like heredocs, doc tests, the System module, etc. Still, past the initial syntax similarities with Ruby, it is a very different language than both Ruby and Python. You should definitely give it a try :)

An invite directly from the head honcho himself! Thanks Jose, I will do so. My dream language was basically Elixir, another BEAM VM language but Pythonic but called something like 'Hydra' to play off the Python theme. Envisioning a multiheaded snake fits right in with the Erlang actor theme. But, why reinvent the wheel when you guys already have something similar enough. I'll for sure reserve some time to dive in.
