I cannot, for the life of me, recommend Elixir enough! You write your code without every thinking of words like "async" or "await" and the VM handles it for you!

So this. You have to learn to think differently about your problem. But then when you do, so many of these other issues just go away. A small amount of our product offering is implemented in Elixir. I wish more of it was. It’s my favorite part of the whole thing.

Credit where it's due, this is all thanks to the BEAM and OTP being awesome.
