What I also like about Elixir is, that it is a sort of nice language. What I mean by that is, that it has convenient language features like tail-call optimization, immutable by default data structures, modules (seemingly proper ones, but I am still learning, so I still need to check things like "Can I limit what a module exports?"), and great pattern matching. Then of course there is the heritage from building on top of BeamVM and Erlang: Lightweight processes. I also prefer having `do` and `end` markers for things, so that one can write expressions inline, like `fn args -> foobar end`. Having such markers enables structural code editing and things like putting the point at the `do` and then by one keyboard shortcut select everything until `end`.
