Think for a second

I think there is more to it.

They're coasting on the Erlang communities last few decades of real engineering work. So it's pretty good.

Elixir has almost everything I'd ever want in a language. It's got a way to work with every sort of collection type. Its got everything immutable by default. Its got macros that are almost as good as lisps. Its got a nice clean syntax and a bunch of shit to make cumbersome shit in erlang nice. Its got a great web framework and package manager. The communities focused on developer tooling.

The only thing I wish it had were static types. You can use dialyzer but its not the same as it being built into the language. Overall I'd say give it a try, it's a real nice language I wish I could use it at work instead of fucking javascript and java

It is a god tier languages, designed for specific stuff,it wont become a meme, phoenix/elixir target a different audience.
