Erlang has been around a lot longer, and is much more established. That could both support Elixir and work against it -- there are probably more Erlang jobs, but Elixir will benefit from the long-term demonstrated competence of the Erlang VM. I still wonder if it's just a fad. Personally I prefer Erlang, though I don't have really deep experience with either language.
