Elixir has a better developer experience, or at least it's more approachable. Better code splitting with modules, easier to use variables (no var, var1, var2), loops that look like loops but easy enough to fall back to recursion, and an easier to read syntax.

gen_stage is just a library. One could write it in Erlang. It's like asking why Broadway is only for Elixir and not Erlang.

It was hard to approach the Erlang docs when I started in Elixir. However, they've moved to an ex_doc format (is it ex_docs?) as a standard and it's so much easier to grok.

Yeah, I didn't think of that at the time I initially posted, but that's very true - I think pipes are definitely a key advantage of Elixir.

I couldn't imagine trying to implement this DSPy library in Erlang, for example
