I spent a (somewhat painful) weekend messing around with it - it basically reads like a bit of an unholy cross of _javascript_, Ruby, and erlang.  The "somewhat painful" bit is that both JS and Ruby give me hives (not as much as Java, but I 've suffered through *that* since 95).  Anyhow, the pseudo-OO nature is ok, if you like that sort of thing, and the 'language simplification" kinda sorta works, but I was basically left with an overwhelming feeling of "why?".  There does seem to be an awful lot of "Make XXX work like Ruby" going on out there :-) Again, I'm a perl/erlang guy, so take *all* the above with a huge pinch of salt... cheers Mahesh Paolini-Subramanya CTO   Vocalocity - Powering Small Business 1375 Peachtree St. NE, Suite 200, Atlanta, GA 30309 USA Office 312.281.9923 mah...@vocalocity.com  | www.vocalocity.com      On Mar 2, 2012, at 2:15 PM, Noah Slater wrote: Yo, What do peeps make of this: http://elixir-lang.org/ Thanks, N
