Elixir is just an AST transform for erlang/otp. I like erlang and there are features that I wish it had sometimes, but elixir couldn't be further from what I'd come up with if I decided to fix it myself. It takes all the bad parts of lisp, shoves them into a bad ast format, and crunches it all down to beam code. It's just a terrible implementation of a terrible idea.
I am actually moving components of my apps away from erlang to f# to shield it from the destruction of beam that elixir will bring about.
