I love Erlang, though I mostly use Elixir. It's changed how I think about programming in a very refreshing way. The Erlang community is also incredibly practical. I enjoy programming languages that are born out of research, such as Rust and others, but I really enjoy Erlang because it was born out of solving a problem. We're very fortunate that the problem Erlang creators were trying to solve back in the 80s and 90s is a pretty common problem today. It's easy to get hung up at the aesthetics of Erlang. But the parts that really change you as a programmer are the ideals that Erlang embodies. I urge you to continue on, or learn Erlang by way of Elixir.
