I was randomly watching youtube videos about Elixir ("The Soul of Erlang and Elixir " by Sasa Juric), and I have never really been interested in it... I was completely wrong. BEAM/Erlang is amazing piece of technology, and Elixir does excellent job to bring in new people in.

If you do web development, then just for the sake of professional curiosity, I urge you to go watch a couple of videos to make yourself in idea. I have found that some (many) features which I would go learn and use another tool for, are already included into Elixir ... Now I feel sad for doing Django for my daywork
