I think Elixir has the potential of being like the JVM but for functional distributed programming. The JVM is fantastic and I do most of my work on it, but having an entire environment of consistent actors, fault tolerance, hot reloading, etc is a tempting proposition. Especially with the easy interop of languages & functional aspects. I don't think it will surpass the JVM, but I think it has a lot of potential in its own sphere of influence. Especially if the library support & technical contributions keep coming.
