What's up guys, I'm looking to build a high traffic web app and I'm stuck between Erlang and Elixir. Both of these languages are known for handling concurrency well, but Elixir seems to be the more modern choice with the BEAM VM under the hood. Anyone have experience with either language and can give me a rundown of the pros and cons?

Personally, I think Elixir is the way to go nowadays, it's more widely adopted and has a larger community to draw from. Plus, it's built on top of Erlang, so you get all the benefits of that language plus the added ease of use. Has anyone here had any experience with Elixir for building scalable systems?
"Yooo, I've been experimenting with Elixir lately and gotta say, its speed and concurrency features are straight fire. Erlang's the OG, but Elixir's syntax and compatibility with OOP make it a more accessible choice for newer devs. Anyone else have a solid Elixir experience to share?"
