I think even in the worst case, it's interesting and can change how you approach problems in other languages. In the best case, it'll fit some problem you have suspiciously well and you'll be left wondering why it only took you a couple of days, a tutorial and 50 lines of easy to understand code to solve a really annoying problem you had. If some of the syntax or tooling feels like it's getting in your way, Elixir looks like a nice setup on top. Personally I think erlang is fine as it is, though I do want to experiment with Elixir.
