You've just convinced me to spend some more time with Erlang! I've dabbled a bit and, at least on the surface, prefer erlang syntax over elixir.
I accept that others, such as yourself, have different opinions.
I think the reason that I feel the way I do is that I’ve read a lot over the years (like, non fiction), so I’ve been heavily conditioned to look for infix characters to separate and define the shape of code, and strings of words to express things. But that may be self introspective reach too far.
