The semantics of Elixir are much closer to Erlang than Gleam is and Elixir handles dynamic types on the same manner as Erlang, so interop is very seamless (much more than with Gleam).

Don't pay too much mind on the ruby-like syntax. I also prefer the syntax of Gleam, but Elixir really isn't bad when you get used to it.

JSON handling in Gleam was also something that annoyed me and made be scrap a hobby project and go with Elixir instead. I wish they had a proper macro system so you could derive json encoding/decoding like you do in Rust...
