Agree that Erlang is what gives most of the performance and scalability benefits to Elixir and as such I should mention Erlang / BEAM to give due credit. However Elixir is my recommended target language for any developers who want an easy to learn language with a great community. The phoenix framework and powerful meta programming constructs are unique to Elixir.
