Been using Elixir for a new project and it's really nice.

For me it's not so much about bringing a nicer syntax to Erlang (Erlang's syntax is very nice once you get used to it, except for single assignment IMO. I'd prefer it if Elixir had taken Erlang's syntax and added support for rebinding variables and macros) but about tooling (mix, the build tool absolutely rocks) and libraries (e.g. take a look at http://github.com/elixir-lang/ecto).
