I'm kind of sad that Elixir is getting all the love and the cool resources since I much prefer Erlang's syntax. Thanks for this page!



I love Erlang too, but I don't think Elixir's popularity is stealing love away from Erlang. If anything, I think Elixir compliments Erlang and provides a path for people to enter the world of Erlang, BEAM, and OTP that they didn't have before. Elixir helped to lower the bar of entry. My understanding is that the Elixir team has also helped drive some improvements in Erlang, which is nice.

Personally, I love both Erlang and Elixir and hope to ride out the rest of my career on these platforms.


I agree wholeheartedly. Elixir gave me an opportunity to start to play around with Erlang and OTP. While I prefer using Elixir, its ability to mix and match with Erlang has made it a great gateway.
