it is of course entirely possible to program for years in Elixir without realizing it's a lisp; Despite having cut my teeth at the ripe age of 9 on scheme, I only realized Elixir "was a lisp" when I got into more advanced macro-writing, and noticed that macro writing is very similar to Julia (which actually has a lisp sitting in its core). In any case, it definitely has algol syntax.
