- arms 11y agoI'm interested in more than just the use cases (although still curious to hear why someone chose Elixir, whether it be for the language, BEAM, or whatever.) I'm looking for stories of why it was chosen over another language and what the end results were.

And a simpler learning curve than many FP languages (in my experience, at least) sweetens the deal.
