A more encouraging response would be one that doesn't focus on whether or not I understand correctly (I'd already acknowledged that I may not), but on what the differences are, thereby spreading your knowledge rather than using it to make people feel excluded.
with that said, what precisely do you think are the similar benefits of elixir syntax rules to those of common lisp?
While I wouldn't go as far as saying that elixir has the same benefits as lisp regarding uniform syntax in combination with a flexible macro system, elixir's macro system is undoubtedly powerful. The big difference with a lisp is that elixir's macro's operate on an intermediate ast representation that looks a lot like lisp code. So while elixir doesn't have a very uniform syntax itself, I think its macro system gives comparable power and flexibility.
btw, the other poster didnt mention elixir macros. they mentioned optional syntax which frankly terrifies me :)
