Mind blowing Elixir
How has Elixir blown (or expanded!) your mind? Please tell us here!
Can be something that’s unique to Elixir, or just something that it introduced to you. Can be something you discovered a while ago.. or something you just come across - whatever it is, please share

Completely changed the way I think about code…which is kind of a pain when I have to use other languages…

This talk by Saša Juric is one of my go-to’s when trying to get people interested in Elixir. Being able to attach a REPL to a running production system and having all of these introspection capabilities at your disposal is something I don’t think any other runtime offers (or if they do it likely isn’t as deeply integrated with the runtime as you get with elixir/erlang).

Not specifically Elixir but BEAM’s preemptive scheduler especially after working a lot with Node is truly mind blowing.
