Ask HN: Should I learn Elixir or Erlang first?

If elixir seems easier to learn, try it first. Both Elixir and Erlang use OTP, so after diving into Elixir it will be much easier to learn prolog-like erlang syntax. Also in elixir you can call erlang modules, so you can get familiar with erlang when using elixir.

Thanks, very ponderate and effective answer.

I was actually thinking about go Elixir-first, but I was in a need of a kind of "validation" about the order from someone that already wrote some code for both.
