"...so I've never had the need to pull off complicated networks."

In other words, you haven't run into one of the main problems Erlang and Elixir aim to solve. So it makes sense you don't see the appeal.

Just keep it in the back of your mind, when you someday do need to pull off a complicated network, Erlang and Elixir are excellent tools for solving that problem.

This is actually how I've explained it to a lot of people. Elixir is one of those languages that you won't appreciate it until you suffer the issues of others first.

This is how it makes fanboys of people in their 30s, 40s and 50s instead of their 20s.
