I'm amused that Elixir feels like the best language I've ever used, and yet I can't tell you why. I love (most) everything about it. It's kind of like trying to say you should meet my best friend Bob; no matter how much I tell you about Bob, you'd still have to meet him yourself to form your own opinion.

Because the design choices are subtle and lead you to excellent designs. Bad code in this language looks bad and feels bad to write, to me.
