But beyond syntax, how does the tooling compare? It seems that Mix is very convenient and feels like similar tools in other languages. I'd imagine that Erlang doesn't have an equivalent.
Overall Elixir tooling has more modern feel to it, but often it wraps around Erlang tools but.
Keeping mind that Erlang exists much longer than Elixir tooling for Erlang is more robust and mature. BUT its tooling revolves around advanced features e.g. hot updates. For webdev Elixir's tooling is capable enough.
