A comment on Learn Elixir with a Rubyist (IV) – Types, Data Structures and Pattern Matching. Parent comment
1. Has a better standard library, plus easy access to all of Erlang's standard library.
2. Handles concurrency, instead of having to rely on an event loop, and does so in a clean and accessible way.
3. Makes it easy to communicate between processes, not on the same machine, but processes running on other machines as well.
4. Is faster and consumes less resources.
5. Is easier to create, manage, and maintain code and deployments.
My last point is subjective, but I like Elixir's syntax much, much better than Javascript's.
In my opinion, comparing Elixir to Node is like comparing a Tesla to a high-end roller skate.
