Elixir multiple processes: Basics

You are correct.

That's something I've been a bit worried about with people coming to Elixir thinking it's basically a faster/robust Ruby: are they absorbing the full Erlang Weltanschauung?

(I had to look it up)

Welt·an·schau·ung ˈveltˌänˌSHouəNG

a particular philosophy or view of life; the worldview of an individual or group.

Personally I came for the faster/robust Ruby first and then over time discovered (and am still discovering) the other powerful pieces. I think that's ok.

Absolutely that's ok. Everything's a journey.

(I tend to get lazy about learning, so perhaps I doth project too much.)

Was Elixir designed with Ruby in mind?

It was designed by José Valim, a Rails core team member.
