Elixir/Phoenix gets this right. Working on a side project right now and so far it's a very enjoyable experience.

I find the abstractions much more intuitive. The framework as a whole is just as "magical" for fast prototyping, but it's composed of much simpler individual modules that are easy to wrap one's head around.

It's surprising how mature the whole ecosystem feels considering it's still quite niche. It helps to have decades of battle-tested Erlang libraries at your disposal.
