Yeah— as a primarily python guy, I find concurrency much more palatable in elixir than in js. As a relatively infrequent js user, I have tripped on its asynchronicity for decades. After learning in Perl, shell scripting, and a smidge off C in the early 2ks, then PHP and python in the subsequent decade, I rage quit js every time I picked it up for anything significant until like 10 years ago. For the first few years, I always forgot basic facets of the language like the scope of "this" in anonymous callback functions. While it's not a close analog, the way Unreal Engine's node-based "no code" Blueprints language approaches asynchronicity just feels so much more natural. Even hopeful pre-hello-world coders seem to conceptually get "well I can't get that because this hasn't happened yet." Having graphical representations of things both in nodes and in-game obviously helps in ways that wouldn't make sense in js, but being built from the ground up to handle it does show that it can be approached more intuitively.
