Although I also have issue w/the Elixir docs, they tend to have more explanations in them than the Erlang ones. Marginally :)

I am one who came not from Ruby, btw. My roots come from a variety of things including Smalltalk, C, C++, Perl (dare I admit), Java, Javascript and Python, among those most influential on my life (and in that order).

I'm really happy w/Elixir, finally getting back to a better true object oriented system (for those who know the roots of such).
