> Elixir is layered, making it easy to learn and master. You can get pretty far with Phoenix without ever understanding (or even knowing about) the more fundamental building blocks or the runtime. In large part, this is because of its ruby-inspired syntax. You'll have to adjust to immutability, but that's pretty much it.
This is my main problem with elixir. Even for senior developers it's hard to know how the building blocks and runtime works and since all abstractions are leaky, you'll end up with mysterious issues that only make sense once you understand all the layers. And in case of elixir there are lots.
