elixir looks awesome, but there's no need to overstate its case - tons of languages really cared about beautiful code and a pleasant ecosystem. clojure was perhaps the best in that respect; there was a lot of effort made to have consistent and pretty libraries. f# seems like it's shaping up nicely too, though it still has some rough edges (but then again, so does ruby!). pyret does "beautiful code" even better than ruby does; if it had a good command line implementation and ecosystem it might have been my new favourite scripting and general-purpose language by now. elm puts a lot of love and effort into both the language and the libraries, and in particular has some of the most user-friendly error messages i've ever seen. and that's just the languages i'm familiar with; i'm sure others can chime in with lots more.
