While I don't really agree with that there is an obvious solution that will make it even better:<br>
<br></div>We do Potion which is a new language on the BEAM+OTP with a Lua inspired syntax instead. This would have many benefits:<br><br>- It would make it much easier for a large group of programmers to get into the erlang fold.<br>
</div>- The syntax would be simpler that elixir and would avoid some of its idiosyncrasies.<br></div>- Lua is a fun language to start with.<br><br></div>So who would be interested in joining me to do Potion, a new language for the Erlang VM?<br>
