I like Elixir and tried it out a few years ago. I would learn Erlang if going back now. The trouble with both for me is that if you are not developing to a fault-tolerant specification and need number crunching, the Erlang family of PLs are not performant. Yes, you could use NIFs written in Zig, but that's like using Python and calling all those C libs and functions. Elixir is great in that it is being used for full stack development with the likes of Phoenix and the BEAM/OTP, this is a good thing. I was interested in Nerves back then too, and I had read most of the book "The Handbook of Neuroevolution Through Erlang", and while greatly informative and fun, I am now back with C, Zig, J, extempore's xtlang, and F#. I am looking into HPC with UNUMS and Elixir and Erlang just don't fit my personal projects. I do like them though, but I would probably choose LFE for personal fun and Elixir for employment.
