I hope that some Elixir features make it in to Erlang but I guess I'm one of those rare people that likes the Erlang syntax a lot better. I don't really understand the hate for it, it seems so clear and specific. Anyway, if people want choices for an Erlang like experience, without the Prolog syntax, check out LFE:

The thing I don't like about Erlang's syntax is that often I have to change the character at the end of the line when I need to move a line. It makes refactoring more tedious. I have no problem with it when reading code :)
