José Valim has repeatedly said that he did not create Elixir to be a whitewash of Erlang's syntax.

No, but it is part of the reason for its popularity.

I think it's silly that we have a generation of programmers who are unwilling to learn a language without a C or Ruby like syntax.

But I must admit that I find Elixir easier to read and more comfortable than Erlang.
