Erlang is also simple to learn! Simpler, I think, than Elixir just because Erlang is a simpler language. It’s the concepts that Erlang and Elixir share that take the most effort to lean.
Agree! The Erlang syntax only takes a day or two to learn. It’s succinct! You won’t be an OTP wizard but it doesn’t take much to become fluent with the language itself.
I think they’re both pretty simple languages, as far as the basic grammar goes. OTP is a whole other thing. But it strikes me that if you have one person on a team who knows OTP well, that person can assist the others when OTP issues come up.
