Hmm, I'm primarily a C# dev and recently spent a morning getting to know Elixir, and was actually surprised with how flat the learning curve was.

Now, writing idiomatic functional code while coming from an OO background, now that is difficult!

I have to say though, I loved the short time I spent with Elixir so far - it's hard to put a finger on it, but it just feels right. But... I do wish it was statically typed :(

This is one of my favorite parts. I mostly program in Python and Ruby and am very very wired to write programs in an imperative way.

So when you finally "get" things like Enum.reduce and you use it twice in 1 day to solve 2 different problems, it's a real rush.
