Elixir is, in my view, an even-more-awesome Erlang with an unfortunate and distracting cosmetic resemblance to Ruby.

Ruby is awesome, as is Elixir, but very different awesome.

Agreed, to be clear. I think Elixir is cool. It just keeps getting framed as a "better Ruby"--though Phoenix might be (probably is) a better Rails.
