&quot;What in particular do you like about it?&quot;<p>As someone who has also used Erlang in the past I can tell you what&#x27;s nice about Elixir: super modern developer friendly ecosystem. Mix - the pkg manager - is dead simple and does the job well, the docs are amazing with tons of examples and direct links to source code everywhere. The language itself also has some nice syntactic sugar over standard Erlang, and integrating with Erlang was a breeze. Overall the whole system is just smooth and works. I was impressed.
