I’ve done quite a bit of work in both Erlang and Elixir, and I wouldn’t have bothered with Elixir if not for the shared calling conventions and features with Erlang. I also hope that more the Elixir improvements mentioned in the video (more human-friendly calendar time support especially) make their way into Erlang too.
As said by ac5, Erlang can be both the ERTS (Erlang Run Time System) where Elixir runs and Erlang the language. Anyway, on the video, José also talks about improving OTP (fixing gen_event and supervisors) that is a part of Erlang, so I think the Erlang tag is correct.
Why was this tagged Erlang?
Erlang is both a language and a runtime, elixir uses the runtime so it can be fuzzy.
actually, Erlang’s the name of the scientist. The name of the creature is Erlang’s Monster.
