I've never really looked into Elixir. I'm a Python guy and readability is the first thing that makes me love or hate a new language. Considering I've always found Erlang fairly obtuse visually I am surprised by how easy on the eye Elixir is.

I found this quote very telling:

> "Elixir is simply the first language since Ruby to really care about code beauty and UX of the language, libraries and ecosystem."

(Of course they meant 'Python' instead of 'Ruby' but hey ;-) )
