Love… I really don’t think so. 
It’s more about necessity. This reminds me of Tcl, had to learn it ages ago, to perform some tasks. I did it, but hated it. Even today I have bad dreams about it.
I really love Elixir instead. Too bad they are linked together at the Elixir use level. IMO Elixir should evolve into a complete abstraction from Erlang.
LE: Java lang is running on JVM, written in C/C++. One doesn’t have to know those in order to master Java. Right ?
