I don't particularly care for the ambiguity that stems from facets of it being optional, nor the way function match arms are defined, nor the :atom or lowercase variable naming syntax. The mixing of do and -> kinda bugs me as well. :shrug:

Though my opinion on the matter is deeply colored and probably unreliable because I'm one of those weirdos that thinks that Erlang syntax is actually quite nice for the most part.

Also, I'm in no position to complain since currently my technical life (what little is left not making slide decks) now revolves around Rust, Agda, and TLA+ (god help me).

I’m also one of those weirdos. I’m a big fan of Erlang syntax: very concise, mostly trivial to read (although list comprehensions can get hairy).

Same here. I’ll take Erlang’s conciseness and readability over Elixir’s prolixity any day.
