Ok, I'm almost convinced - at least I'll give Elixir a try after I finish with Joxa. Any tips for someone who would like to learn Elixir fast? Is the "Getting Started" on Elixir page OK or should I search somewhere else?
As for Scala and CoffeeScript... well, that's a tough one. On some level they are very similar, but the differences are huge. I'd say they both, and Elixir, are in the same class of things with CS being on the lower level than Scala and Elixir.

Yes, the Getting Started guide is great. There is also Dave's book[1] and many talks done by José and Yurii[2].

Introducing Elixir by Simon St Laurent is coming out soon. I read a pre-release version and it is exactly what you want.
