If you think Elixir is about syntax or about making Erlang look like Ruby, you should really watch this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqo9-pQuRKE

Syntax is the first thing José Valim discards on the talk, he then goes on to talk about polymorphism, collections, tooling and so on.

Also, both Elixir and LFE have two namespaces, so none of them would be equivalent to a LISP-1.
