Coming from Ruby and Python and a bit of node, Elixir encourages a really convenient mental model for thinking about small and large parts of your app in the same way. Net result is fewer bugs created, easier to write tests so you write more, and easy to debug when they do happen. And because of the fault tolerance, most production bugs are so transient they're not causing problems. I've run several small webapps with a few thousand users and the maintenance is minimal because of how solid the language is.
