Advice for choosing between elixir and nodejs

Book “Programming Phoenix” has by far best opening chapters I have ever read.

This “https://nerves-project.org/” looks pretty amazing.

At first I thought would miss something out if I try elixir. Like using kubernetes to deploy elixir app.
But that’s not the case and now I don’t really have any good reason not to try out elixir.
I will give it a try, If anything it can only make one a better developer.
