A comment on Elixir obsoletes Ruby, Erlang and Clojure in one go.

Not true. Not only that the OO is not dead yet. But the main obstacle for Elixir is that there are just not enough stable libraries. You couldn't get the productivity you can easily get on Ruby or JS. That Elixir is something to watch, and it may have some clear user cases (specially where Erlang shines), I would agree... but no much else for now.

Elixir has 30 years of erlang libraries to lean on.
