Haha, I’m with you there. I was considering calling that out in the post.

I dearly love Erlang & co., but its learning curve is way too steep for most developers today. Our goal is to bring the benefits of Erlang/Akka/Orleans/etc. to more developers by:

(a) supporting mainstream languages, and

(b) lowering the technical and conceptual barriers to entry.

Erlang has its quirks but Elixir at least is an order of magnitude easier to learn than Rust or Java.

Meanwhile, I'm a rust developer who is struggling to learn elixir :D
