For those unaware, Elixir is a language that runs on the Erlang VM, so its amazing concurrency is the same as Erlang's.
It does cut down on a lot of Erlang boilerplate, so it’s still a better option… but I’m hoping someone will give it a third try.
The syntax itself is slightly disappointing though. Optional parentheses around argument calls doesn't really add much except confusion, and the extra cruft around blocks and functions make things like pattern matching quite a bit clunkier.
