Serious question, though I know it will sound negative... I really don't like Rails and don't like Ruby or VB.NET, either (syntactically), which means Elixir is off-putting for me, at least in how it's been marketed. Do you know of anyone like me who has come to Elixir and liked it?
Note: I like Clojure, F#, and other functional languages, so that's not a hurdle.
