Elixir is Erlang anyway.
The only difference between the two is basically syntax and a couple of bonuses in the Elixir STDLib, most of which wraps existing Erlang functions.
You're praising Erlang's concurrency model, there's no such thing as Elixir concurrency model.
- PopeDotNinja 7y agoI tell people Elixir is just pretty Erlang.
- anthony_doan 7y agoYeah I understand that but not many people do Erlang from Elixir from my experiences. Also I find Elixir community is better for me as a web developer than Erlang. But it's also inescapable to ignore Erlang when you dive deeper into the actor model. Several good actor model books are Erlang only. Unfortunately many people, including myself, ever actually do anything hardcore with Actor Model. There is a good blog post about several skill stages of erlang/elxir and OTP was at the very top in term of few people actually uses it. I can't recall it the author =/. Actually, I like Elixir package management system and command line tool is much better. They recently have the release command line tool. Elixir have several more differences?
