Elixir has forever ruined me for other languages. Every new PL I dip my toe into gets measured against it. Jose and the core team seem to always land on the right decisions, or at least very good ones.
100% Elixir is much more a Lisp than Ruby is.
Agree that Elixir is closer to a Lisp than Ruby.

Heck at least in my brain MLs are closer to a Lisp than Ruby...
