I dislike Elixir’s syntax for two reasons: it seems unnecessarily verbose, and it’s too much like Ruby/Python. When I see Erlang syntax, it helps me think in Erlang. Anyway, I haven’t given Elixir a fair chance, but it’s hard to get past my knee-jerk dislike of all the extra verbiage. I’d rather use LFE if I wanted an alternative syntax with more powerful macros.
