Elixir fixed some annoying erlang quirks, e.g. * Switched all the strings to waaay more efficient binary string format (with true utf8) - in erlang you have charlist, which consumes more memory, slower and less-handy binaries (and need to remember to pass around right one) * Made standard library consistent and logical. This also affects 3rd party libraries, they have reasons to follow conventions. * Hyped pipeline operator ("|>") by mere existence basically enforced correct order of function params
