Like Alan Kay himself said, it wasn't about objects, but about messaging. [0]

Agreed. While I think matz is a great language designer, I loved Alan Kay's philosophy. I'd like some language that is OOP centric in nature, fast, has an elegant syntax and learns from erlang's model (elixir isn't it unfortunately, but some ideas it got right).

If you want OOP than, yes, Elixir isn't it... maybe Pony? Curious what else you don't like about Elixir though besides not being OOP... it's definitely got messaging!
