This is really interesting to read. I've been writing Go for about ~4 years professionally, and recently (<6 months) jumped into Elixir (and a bit of Rust). They've been nothing but a breath of fresh air, and I can't wait to write more as I'm starting my new thing. I'm definitely more excited about Elixir as it's really, really pleasant to write and in some sense, a major increase in productivity.

Agree about typed parameters + implied returns, but you can get some of that back using guards + dialixer/dialyzer.
