I also come from Clojure and Erlang and, tbh, couldn't get into Elixir for various reasons (I've followed the development closely since its inception):
* Most of the Elixir community comes from the Rails world, so most of the libraries focus on the web.
* Coming from the Ruby world, a lot of these new developers tend to be ignorant of the underlying Erlang machinery, believing that Elixir is the magic that makes Erlang a "modern" and usable language, which is simply not true.
* The tendency to favor frameworks over libraries.
* I'm probably alone in this one, but I find the syntax off-putting. It adds lots of sigils and complexity to Erlang's very succinct syntax.
* In the end, I think Elixir adds very little besides the excellent tooling to the Erlang ecosystem.
