I think a good way to increase creativity and productivity is to use the right abstractions of thought and craft. Every good(non leaky) abstraction expands the creative envelope further and lends itself to creation of new higher order abstractions for the next generation.

Having coded in imperative languages like Java, Python and C++, I had been on the lookout for a practical general purpose language which provides good abstractions/high expressiveness. Elixir appealed to me more than Go in that regard. It's been six months since I started writing Elixir and it's been a pleasure.
