hrefna, 
Occasionally someone will come out of nowhere and recommend Elixir to me and I'm like… "do not speak to me of the old magic…"
I knew Erlang at one point and have an Elixir syntax highlighting project from early (pre 1.0) Elixir days, let's just say I'm aware of it :p
I haven't done anything with it since before 1.0 and will eventually check it out again, but I am very aware of it.
I don't mind when I'm looking for recs, but it's just one of those things.
