I do 100% Clojure work, but am learning Elixir (and may someday use that at work as well). In any case, there's a lot to like on both sides, but there's also a dichotomy: communicate by sharing state (Clojure - atoms, channels) vs. share state by communicating (Erlang/Elixir - everything is a one-way message). To be honest, what I really like about Elixir so far is the developer affordances: excellent REPL, super-fast startup time, and building on 30-ish years of OTP.
