I've found Elixir to be easy to understand given what it's doing, and it's doing a lot more work than Python does for each application. The thing is, though, that there are a lot of declarative frameworks in Python that make applications go further without burdening a developer with low-level detail. Elixir does the same thing. Elixir and OTP abstract away a lot of complexity, at times too much. Import enough frameworks into your Python application and you'll be making a lot more decisions. Thinking about process management for every application you write (BEAM process, not OS process) pushes you up front to think about the paradigm that is used everywhere, and once you grasp what you're considering you can apply your understanding of concurrency when using other languages. This often happens when an Erlang/Elixir developer works with Rust: many programmers adopt message-passing rather than sharing state, and as they make their system more robust think about how to control threads/tasks, adopting OTP-like paradigms.
