Erlang has some bad rep for "weird syntax", but it's completely unfounded, the syntax is actually quite simple and clean.
Elixir opens doors mainly for Rubyists, but there are some other paths to discover BEAM. Check out:

Anything that isn't Algol-flavored and either procedural or class-based OOP tends to be seen as weird syntax, and much more so if it ticks both boxes. It's not as much a matter of simple and clean as familiar in a world where almost everything people will be exposed to first tends to come from a narrow design space.
- strokirk 6y agoI'd say that's very subjective - personally I still dislike the syntax after 2 years of working with Elixir.
