Every time I see these (LFE, Elixir, perhaps others) mentioned I feel sad that people don't seem to see the beauty in the Erlang language itself. Learning Erlang was a watershed moment for me and it had little to do with the actor model or OTP.
That should not be meant to take away from these other projects that do interesting things. It just seems like people needlessly avoid Erlang because it's unfamiliar and they miss something amazing in the process.
