This is my take as well (adding erlang to my list of things along with python/kotlin/go/lua).

Some things are just a little *too* different. There's no for-loop, it's just recursion. Pattern matching on the function signatures are nice, but then I have to dig around a lot more to find what I need.

That being said, I do want to try it and learn about it more; the promises it makes about concurrency and event driven programming looks nice, i do really want to try it.
