In my opinion, Elixir is still a more expressive and readable language than Erlang, and if you want to do OTP programming it's the best we have so far. Learning more about OTP has warmed me a little to the syntax of both Elixir and Erlang, because I'm now able to understand the syntactical choices that were made in order to express what's going on under the hood more clearly. As a Rubyist, I also enjoy Elixir's similarities to Ruby, and had to get over how it looked to me for a while before I really understood why it felt so weird to write. It might be a form of Stockholm Syndrome, but these days it makes sense to me so I sort-of enjoy how it works and looks.
