An oblique thing I love about the Elixir ecosystem is that there is a strong focus on visual and aesthetic attention to detail. I mean look at those multibars in the asciinema. They're gorgeous for a console. In this, I'm reminded of R vs Python, where the former simply has far better graphics capabilities than the latter. In the Elixir case, I can't help but compare the look and feel of Livebooks compared with Jupyter Notebooks. The former are miles ahead in terms of a modern visual experience. It's very pleasant especially if you're expected to have an audience for your output, which kind of contrasts with python which always feels like it's built for engineers (and there's nothing wrong with that, but it is a different culture).
