What was your first elixir project?

Did you have any trouble skipping Erlang and going straight to elixir?

Simple Phoenix server that made requests to third party API endpoints.

I don't think I referred to any Erlang code and just picked up Elixir. Ultimately, you will have to pick up some Erlang but you can get away with just Elixir for a long time.

You don’t need Erlang especially if you’re not developing in Elixir professionally.
