Erlang has better syntax than Elixir.
But otherwise they are mostly the same: Elixir is just an Erlang reskin.
So pretty much wherever you can use one, you can use the other.
- Teifion 1y agoAn anecdote which may be of interest. Speaking to Elixir and Erlang developers I found those who started with Erlang preferred its syntax while those who started with Elixir or didn't know either preferred the Elixir syntax.
- eru 1y agoI agree that either way, Elixir is mostly just a reskin. I would have like it more, if they had reskinned it to look more like Haskell. But that's just my preference.
