You mean ALGOL, not BCPL.
It's just that the complete lack of mention of Erlang, the jab at OOP languages (which is ironic given the actor model is relatively OO) and presenting the reuse of an Erlang construct as an Elixir novelty reeks of magpie hype. It's like the old joke about Ruby being renamed Rails, I have a feeling Erlang is being renamed to Elixir.
