Yes, I understand, I was just wondering if Erlang would be considered a "proven language".

From my (limited) Erlang experience, Erlang & Elixir have the same core functionality. Elixir has a "nicer" syntax (I prefer Erlang's syntax but most devs I've talked to like Elixir's).

So if Elixir isn't proven but the concurrency model & programming paradigms make sense, maybe Erlang is a good choice.
