Well, if Elixir had a Typesystem like Javascript has, I'd instantly switch to it. But atm I'm staying with Node because of Typescript.

True, it doesn't have it. Between pattern matching and function guards however, it has a decent way to protect against common errors.

The true treasure is Erlang / Elixir's runtime though. The parallelism, the self-healing, the preemptive scheduling.
