I’ve personally found Elixir to be a nice balance compared to something like Haskell or even Rust in terms of FP. Most things, certainly testing are made simpler by immutability and the actor model makes parallelism much simpler to reason about. I’ve no doubt python is a great language for some things but once Elixir figure out the best way to add types I’ll be extremely happy that the language does everything I want. Especially with ChatGPT now you can ask it about topics in language learning that you don’t understand and it gives really great examples to help, so for me learning idiomatic ways of programming in Elixir or another language got a lot easier.
