The benefit of a syntax developed this century is that you can have the strings people probably want with the syntax for strings they probably want. But for someone coming from java and javascript, I don't think Erlang or Elixir are going to feel particularly sane. As a person who got into Erlang before Elixir, I was hearing about a new BEAM language with 'sane syntax', and then disappointed when I saw it didn't have what I was looking for most, angle brackets. Oh well, it seems to make a lot of people happy, and it gets more attention on BEAM, so it doesn't need to make me happy does it. :)
