From the author of this post, here's one of the best demos of Elixir, Erlang and modern distributed computing in general:
"The Soul of Erlang and Elixir • Saša Jurić • GOTO 2019" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvBT4XBdoUE
When you feel sufficiently amazed by this demo, I also recommend the Elixir in Action book, by this same author, to get started with this incredible ecosystem and paradigm.

It's hard to imagine a better platform than Erlang's for writing distributed and networked systems of any kind. I fell in love with Elixir in 2016 and have been using it full time since, first adopting as CTO in my previous company, now powering my new solo business. It's such a good language, with great community and stewardship, running on a rock solid platform that's so advanced compared to most popular languages today.
Erlang was created 38 years ago, and it's good to see the ideas of Armstrong, Virding and Williams to be vindicated today. They simply were too far ahead of their time.
