Having done python for many years and coming to Elixir the things that I find Elixir does really well are:

- mix and the general tooling (package management, testing, deployment)

- iex - specifically being able to run a shell at the same time as running my app. It makes it easy to test and explore code from the REPL

- documentation (both in iex and hexdocs) - Navigating Elixir documentation is standardized and easy

- Immutability - it took a while to get used to but now I wouldn't have it any other way

and the standard way of doing config is great.
