[MCRed]

I learned erlang first, years ago. I absolutely fell in love with it. Somewhere when I wasn't writing a lot of erlang code, it crusted over and now the erlang syntax bothers me. While elixir is more than a syntax, yes, that is part of its value for me.

To me, in my head, symbolically Elixir and Erlang are the same language, the concepts I'm using most of the time are representable in both. I just find Elixir more fun and easier to write quickly.
