Fallacy of composition. You&#x27;re saying that any language with HOFs, immutability and &quot;idiomatic way to contain state&quot; is ergo Haskell-like, which is insane. None of these are even properties of Elixir, but of Erlang, which Elixir inherits. Erlang is self-evidently not Haskell-like. At best such a language would be merely functional. The actor model isn&#x27;t even about anything analogous to monads, it&#x27;s a concurrency model that happens to simplify concurrency control through isolation.
