Gotta say "thank you" for finding the guts to pursue a new language, I think it's been my favorite of them all so far, and the code I've written in Elixir has always been very resilient, very easy to read, very easy to debug and very maintainable (not to mention, just fun to write!)... something which I credit more to Elixir's (and BEAM's) design more than my own.

Being on average 10x faster at the same kinds of tasks than Ruby is, also helps, of course >..<
