I've been into Erlang for about 5 years now and once I found it, I never looked back. They really nailed it and many competitive technologies like Go don't have a preemptive scheduler yet. I wish Elixir had a Pythonic syntax, but I'm all for anything BEAM gaining steam and have enjoyed using Elixir.

I personally feel that if someone made a Pythonic version of Elixir, say "Hydra", it would take over the world. If anyone starts such a project, look me up!

I second that. Elixir is great, but I was not a Ruby programmer, and prefer other syntax. I've tried LFE, and I love Lisp, but it has not gained traction. Perhaps I'll look into Luerl. Both LFE and Luerl were created by Robert Virding one of the original workers on Erlang with Joe Armstrong. I just might go with straight Erlang. I don't think the syntax is that bad.
