I took a look at Erlang/Elixir a while ago and didn't get too far into it after realizing there was no compile-time type-checking.
My main question coming out of it: if you are going to go with a dynamic language, why go with Elixir over Python or Ruby (or Clojure or Racket or ...)? These have a larger mind-share and a more broadly recognized syntax.

Granted, Erlang (BEAM?) processes are appealing.
If you are using Erlang or Elixir, why?
