    <p> FWIW the speaker in question has never come across to me as
      being hostile towards Erlang, etc. They have always been very laid
      back, open to ideas, erlang, etc. In fact, I was talking to them
      about Erlang earlier this week and they encouraged me to talk
      about Erlang in an Elixir dominated environment :) So, I have to
      assume that things came across the wrong way due to language
      barriers, etc.  Jokes in particular get lost in translation easily
      and can be seen as something hostile or malicious...  The folly of
      language. <br>
    </p>
    <p> Then there's always the possibility the talk was a behavioral
      experiment :) <br>
    </p>
    <p>   But I'm glad we got a line of communication open as that's the
      only way that squashes these issues. The BEAM communities need
      group therapy sometimes IMO :) <br>
    </p>
    <p> There's been a lot of hostility from the Erlang community
      towards Elixir in the past... and I wonder if the echoes of all
      that are so ingrained in some of us that we have knee jerk
      reactions sometimes (i.e., we hear something from an Elixir
      speaker and absolutely take it the wrong way). Having come from
      Elixir to Erlang I very much have seen both sides of that coin. I
      know this much.... <br>
    </p>
    <p> The main thing... Elixir is Erlang, LFE is Elang, Efene is
      Erlang, Gleam is Erlang, etc.... While from one side it appears
      Elixir is another language... I don't think many, especially in
      the Elixir community feel that way... especially core members,
      syntactical differences aside Elixir is erlang. BEAM on!<br>
