Elixir has some features I wish Python had:

- atoms

- everything (or most things) is a macro, even def, etc.

- pipes |>, and no, I don't want to write a "pipe" class in Python to use it like pipe(foo, bar, ...). 90% of the |> power comes from its 'flow' programming style.

- true immutability

- true parallelism and concurrency thanks to the supervision trees

- hot code reloading (you recompile the app WHILE it's running)

- fault tolerance (again, thanks for supervision trees)
