This is anecdotal but I have inadvertently created FAR fewer bugs in Elixir/Phoenix than I ever did in Ruby/Rails. A lot of that has to do with the immutability guarantees and the pattern-matching and the fact that everything is explicit without being wordy... everything in this language seems designed to make it easy to grok what the code is doing, and that means fewer bugs produced.
