My god, it’s like Perl but somehow worse. How do you even keep track of what’s going on?

That’s not a representative example of none of the languages. It is also just plain invalid for Elixir. I recommend checking actual code examples on their websites to form a better opinion.

It's not that bad, really. As with most languages, syntax is the easy part.

From personal experience:

- You're comfortable with Erlang syntax within half a day. There's just so much less of it

- You're comfortable with Elixir syntax within a day of two of active coding. Function captures may trip you up once or twice more, but then it's fine.
