Elixir has conventional method calls by default, and only optional message passing with a separate syntax. It's definitely not message passing everywhere.

It’s message passing everywhere outside the current object (process).

It’s a little tough to compare to an OO language because there are no classes, but all object to object communications are asynchronous messages.
