Elixir is fantastic. Erlangs concurrency model takes some time to get used to but is something I've never seen before. Things like state is managed in a separate server process or the ease of building fault tolerant systems with supervision trees.
Plus, for me the best part, Elixir is just "fun" to write. I didn't have this much fun writing software since I first started with programming years ago.
If anyone is looking to get started, check out the book "Elixir in Action". Great book that brings you up to speed with Elixir, OTP, process handling and a little bit of inner workings.
