well of course, if you're coming from an Erlang perspective, Elixir is a language that solved/solves a problem that doesn't exist. This is a valid view, but OP's thread is specifically asking as an Elixir dev with the perspective that Elixir solves a problem, rather than introduces one.

Recognizing that different perspectives exist isn't bad (and in many cases is very good), but it doesn't feel super constructive in a thread that precludes those perspectives. It seems a little like forum questions saying something like, "how do I do X on Windows?" and somebody replies, "Install OS X."

Except nobody is asking how to do anything, so every answer is equally unproductive.
