It’s gonna be a nice list

• Immutability, which makes code easier to understand, to debug and to trace the flow
• Power of Erlang under the hood for free - lightweight processes, great communication system, whole OTP to use
• Flexible and powerful syntax - easy to code, but enables you to make great things with macros - world without breaks, long loops, spaghetti code and methods “all in one”
• Doctest - test your code with documentation, sound awesome, works even better
• Language improvements and Jose’s dedication - it’s different subject at all, but man! Such amount of work.
• Phoenix - because it’s Phoenix

• I love that I can make simple applications extremely quick without spending a huge amount of time building and learning the language.

• I love how easy it is to make applications that just works and have less bugs.

• that documentation of libraries in general is exceptional due to the languages build in documentation features.

• The community is the Shangri la of the web. very friendly and helpful. In general members strike me as highly skilled.

• Deploying a Elixir application on a server is silly easy the BEAM just works.

*I love that Elixir and libraries / frameworks makes sense and are not bloated.

1. Macros are significantly better than Erlang’s version (OhGodErlangASTHell).
2. It runs on the BEAM.
3. It fully inter-operates with Erlang

Perhaps we should have a thread of things in Elixir we want to see changed? ^.^
