Yes, documentation and just the syntax (to me at least) seems a hell of a lot simpler than erlang. You can always use erlang libraries in Elixir as well.

- davidw 7y agoErlang's syntax is not difficult or complex; it's just 'different' from what people are used to. I will add though, that Elixir does add some nice things besides just a more familiar syntax. Things like their string implementation stand out as a real improvement.
- PopeDotNinja 7y ago> Erlang's syntax is not difficult or complex I will say a lot of it does feel dated & crusty though, especially when digging thru the documentation. And the different forms of iodata, list, binaries, bitstrings, and other string-y things is super confusing in the beginning.
