I think Elixir can be pretty easy for newcomers if they have the chance to work with someone who provides guidance on the OTP parts of the ecosystem. Immutable fp has a whole lot less weird stuff going on than some popular oo and imperative languages. I think it's hard for people to jump into writing concurrent systems when they have no experience with it and all of a sudden have some powerful tools to try, but getting stuff done with modules and functions is refreshing straightforward, especially with how good the docs have become.
