I'm biased because I like Prolog and syntax is similar.

I won't advocate strongly, but I think some designs are more clear in Erlang. E.g. nested structs and maps in Elixir are something I consider problem-to-be.

If one writes deeply nested structure in Erlang it looks like syntax vomit, so I'd avoid it. But I haven't been writing in Erlang for a while, so that might be just an illusion.

But it could simplify code while being perfectly compatible, so I wonder (and there's LFE too which feels like something I both want and don't want to touch)
