Do you think folks who are just getting started in the Erlang ecosystem would be better to learn Elixir before Erlang?

Do you think folks who are just getting started in the Erlang ecosystem would be better to learn Elixir before Erlang?
- phamilton 12y agoI think so. I would be careful not to approach it as another Ruby (there's a lot of overlap in the ecosystem and community) as there are a lot of things that can and should be done differently.
- RobertKerans 12y agoI'm at a basic level with Elixir (played around a little bit with Erlang first), and so far I'd say definitely - the syntax choices seem very, very good, and it's a pleasure to work with. I can now read Erlang code pretty easily because of this, the concepts and structure are often the same, but introduced in a far more understandable way, and it's felt a hell of a lot smoother than going Erlang first - YMMV of course.
