Although I also have issue w/the Elixir docs, they tend to have more explanations in them than the Erlang ones. Marginally :)

I am one who came not from Ruby, btw. My roots come from a variety of things including Smalltalk, C, C++, Perl (dare I admit), Java, Javascript and Python, among those most influential on my life (and in that order).

I'm really happy w/Elixir, finally getting back to a better true object oriented system (for those who know the roots of such).

Yep :) Anybody familiar with the roots of OO will understand how wildly Java/C++ and their ilk went off the rails. It wasn't intended as a code organizational system. It's about encapsulation of needs, actors, and sending messages back and forth.
