Most of my time I write Python, but I'm trying to spend more time with Elixir, and I haven't found using Erlang libs that hard.

There are a handful of rules to remember, if that, and it's reasonably straight-forward. module:func becomes :module.func, the erlang func probably wants char lists rather than strings, atoms are lower-case and should be changed to :atom, vars are upper case and should probably be lowered.

Learning the Elixir language is easy, thinking functionally less so (for me at least).
