I invite you to learn Elixir instead. Plus the forum is extremely welcoming and there are very easily digestible and much more carefully crafted docs compared to Erlang.
Plus, macros (basically, generators of code). How can you say no to that?
In any case, Java, and especially Kotlin are quite tolerable with IntelliJ. It is a great IDE for those two at least. Plus I get paid, which is also a motivator... :D
[1] Truth be told, it is difficult to keep that sanity because I dislike the OTP documentation. I am reading books instead. I already know what their "target_system" does anyway, I modified it a lot for my use case but I reverted it because I thought it would be more of a hassle in the end.
