Personal thoughts:

In Elixir you have consistent utf-8 binary string usage everywhere, consistently named modules/functions, consistently ordered arguments/return values, and, thanks to the pipe operator, in 3rd party code as well.

And none of that in erlang ;)

No separation between header and code, structs are better than records (because they bear their data labels when you inspect them, even if you send to another node that doesn't recognize them), and also since elixir requires that the tags are modules, you can use them for polymorphism (this is the best of OOP without OOP).

Much better documentation support, better compile time infrastructure, smart metaprogramming (this package would be a PITA in erlang: https://github.com/ityonemo/zigler), opinionated but optional directory organization. Module namespaces which are trivially subdivided and aliased, easier time making anonymous GenServers. The Task module, full stop. The registry module, as well.

Thanks.

most of that has to with libraries, not the language. I'd take good libraries with Erlang semantics and syntax over good libraries with other lang's semantics and syntax.
