Eventually, you use Elixir enough, and Erlang starts looking pretty.

My line is, the three things Elixir has over Erlang is protocols, macros, and a syntax that doesn't summon Cthulhu.
Are you really programming if the constant threat of the old one isnt looming just beyond your vision ?
Anyway, the options seem to be either summoning transcendent threats by superficial syntax or by well entrenched semantics. There seems to be no other choice.
What are your thoughts on gleam?
