[erlang-questions] Why Learn Elixir if it's built on Erlang? Why not just learn Erlang?

The important parts: concurrency, distribution, fault tolerance, etc will
be mostly the same, regardless of your choice. After you learn those
concepts, moving from one to another should be straight-forward and they
interoperate fairly well.

So pick whatever makes you more productive and enthusiastic while learning.

In any case, if there are parts in the Elixir documentation that are vague
or unclear, we would appreciate if those reported. The same applies to the
Erlang/OTP documentation too.

Enjoy!
